His disreputable career encompasses bookmaking and dog-training, fight-management and insurance broking. Plagued
by bad debts, bad luck and the formidable Aunt Julia, Ukridge remains as resourceful and irrepressible as ever.
If Stanley Featherstonehaugh Ukridge had a fiver for very dodgy scheme he has ever floated, he would be a very
rich man indeed. In these ten stories he tries every way of making money, from writing political slogans to opening
a college for dogs. His disreputable career encompasses bookmaking and dog-training, fight-management and insurance
broking. Plagued by bad debts, bad luck and the formidable Aunt Julia, Ukridge remains as resourceful and irrepressible
as ever. In his own eyes, Ukridge is a Great Man and a Visionary. In ours, he is English literature's most delightful
chancer and one of Wodehouse's greatest comic creations: charming, ambitious, persuasive, optimistic and almost always
disastrous.
