About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Ukridge by P. G. Wodehouse. Read in English by Shasta; Zach Hoyt; Mark Nelson; Paul Hampton; AlexS “Do not count your chickens before they are hatched” is a classic saying that might well have been remembered by Ukridge. Ukridge is always on the verge of making a fortune and counting his thousands before they are made. But Dame Fortune is a fickle jade. She eludes him in his great scheme about the dog college, wherein he was to turn out a world supply of trained dogs, and likewise in his backing of Battling Billson, the tender-hearted pugilist. But hope and George Tupper keep Ukridge going. He is ever ready for the next assault. First published as short stories. - Summary by From the introduction
