Soft Cover Colour Printed Cove. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. ### P G Wodehouse: The Little Nugget- 1965- Penguin No.1313 ### ## THIS BOOK: Classified as VERY GOOD is the 1965 Edition. This book is in excellent condition and was first published by Munsey's Magazine in 1913, then by Methuen & Co., London in 1913 and the First Four Star Edition in 1962 and reprinted in January 1965. There are some minor bumping. It is a well-read book that is over fifty-five years old. As usual with these aged books, the paper quality is prone to fading or tanning. The spine is tight but with a lean. Text content clean of tanning. ## READ ON for more information and details. Please view the Images we provide.## ### Plot Summary: The story revolves around Mrs Nesta Ford, who reveals her plan to take her son, Ogden, on a yachting trip proposed by her friend Lord Mountry. 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 was initially a line of the publishers The Bodley Head, only becoming a separate company the following year. Founding and Early Years: The idea for Penguin Books was by Allen Lane at Exeter St Davids station. Disappointed by the poor quality and high prices of the books on sale, he envisioned a world where good books were accessible. Within a year, he founded Penguin Books, initiating a paperback revolution that democratised quality literature and changed the publishing world forever. ## ## Impact on the Publishing Industry: Penguin Books revolutionised publishing in the 1930s through its inexpensive paperbacks, sold through Woolworths and other stores for sixpence. 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.
