Title: Ukridge Stories
Description: <p>Stanley Featherstonehaugh Ukridge is one of <a href="https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/p-g-wodehouse"><abbr class="name">P. G.</abbr> Wodehouse’s</a> less famous characters. He first appears in <a href="https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/p-g-wodehouse/love-among-the-chickens"><i>Love Among the Chickens</i></a> in 1906 and then continues to make appearances in another 19 short stories until as late as 1966, making him Wodehouse’s longest running character.</p>
			<p>Ukridge is an inveterate opportunist, and these stories chronicle his exploits as a young man: his trials and tribulations as one who is destined for greatness, if the rest of the world would only cooperate. Told from the point of view of his long-suffering friend and fellow bachelor “Corky” Corcoran, they chronicle their many meetings in the years before the period of <i>Love Among the Chickens</i>.</p>
			<p>As with most of his stories, Wodehouse published the first 10 stories in both the U.S. (<i>Cosmopolitan</i>) and the UK (<i>Strand Magazine</i>) before they were published in the 1924 collection <i>Ukridge</i>.</p>
