The catch? Her ex-husband has won custody of the boy. But things take an unexpected turn when Cynthia Drassilis arrives with Ogden, spiriting him away from his father's country house. Mrs. Ford rewards Cynthia, but soon Mr. Ford's secretary, Mr. Minnick, arrives to reclaim the "stolen" child. However, there's more to Ogden than meets the eye. He's known as the "Little Nugget", and US gangsters have repeatedly attempted to kidnap him. Cynthia persuades Mrs Ford to enlist the help of her new fiancé, Peter Burns, a wealthy man. Burns agrees to pose as a trainee schoolmaster at Sanstead House, where Ogden is to go. His mission is to protect the tempestuous boy from further kidnapping attempts. As Burns takes up his duties at Sanstead, he befriends the boys and navigates the challenges of dealing with Ogden's rudeness and smoking.## ### Legacy: "The Little Nugget" showcases Wodehouse's early talent and foreshadows the brilliance that would characterise his later works. While not as widely known as some of his other novels, it remains a little gem for fans of witty storytelling and eccentric characters. So, if you're in the mood for a delightful romp through the world of English boarding schools, pick up "The Little Nugget" and savour Wodehouse's unique blend of humour and adventure. ## ## A Revolution in Publishing: Penguin Books, a British publishing house, was co-founded in 1935 by Allen Lane with his brothers Richard and John.

It brought high-quality fiction and non-fiction to the mass market. Its success demonstrated that large audiences existed for serious books. It also significantly affected modern British popular culture through its books concerning politics, the arts, and science.## ## Penguin Classics: The Penguin Classics series has left an indelible mark on literature. From its first affordable translation of Homer's The Odyssey in 1946 to its 21st-century redesign, the Penguin Classics series has shaped the iconic series?more than 3,000 titles published as either Penguin Classics or Modern Classics. ## #### INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note.
