Apparently this was Wodehouse's first collection of short stories. Written more than a century ago, wow. As I had expected, not much of humor (like many of his first few years of books) when compared to his latter more, matured books. But the form, the style, the underlying humor all is very evident of what was due from Wodehouse later on! Most of the short stories are based on either cricket or football held in the St. Austin's educational institution, and there are 3-4 tales which are just like documentary without any fiction based characters or dialog.
For a big fan of Wodehouse like me, I had to read this book but for those who are starting off with Wodehouse, this is not meant for them since they will miss it entirely. This is my 71st book that I have read of his! And the last Wodehouse book I had read was 5 years ago!
