description: The Little Warrior (published in America as Jill the Reckless) is an early Wodehouse novel, with a precursor of Bertie Wooster in the form of a character named Freddy. The novel also features a stuffed shirt, Derek, and his fiancée, Jill, a (formerly) rich girl whose money has been gambled away at the stock exchange by her guardian uncle. When Derek breaks off their engagement, Jill decides to leave London for America, where she is forced to earn a living as a chorus girl. But all ends Freddy marries a chorus girl, Jill marries an author, and Derek goes home in defeat, deserted even by the loyal Freddy. A classic example of early humor by the author of My Man Jeeves. Newly designed and typeset in a modern 6-by-9-inch format by Waking Lion Press.
