Welcome to The P. G. Wodehouse Library, where every tale is served exactly as Plum intended: complete, unabridged, and in all its glorious absurdity. Within these shelves you'll encounter unflappable valets, bewildered young gentlemen, formidable aunts, prize pigs of uncommon distinction, and enough improbable scrapes to keep the stoutest listener delightfully occupied. Whether you're revisiting an old favourite or making your first acquaintance with Jeeves, Bertie Wooster, Lord Emsworth, and their incomparable company, there's always another perfectly ridiculous adventure waiting. Settle into a comfortable chair, pour yourself something restorative, and prepare to spend an hour or two in one of the happiest worlds ever committed to paper.

  1. Episode 1

    Leave it to PSmith Chapter 1 - Dark Plottings at Blandings Castle

    In which we find the amiable but somewhat absent-minded Lord Emsworth grappling with the disappearance of his glasses and the impositions of literary guests at Blandings Castle, all under the watchful eye of the ever-efficient (and slightly formidable) Rupert Baxter and the imperious Lady Constance. Meanwhile, young Freddie Threepwood concocts a daring scheme involving a necklace, a loan, and an advertisement that promises a certain Psmith’s unique services, setting the stage for a discreet caper amidst the gardens and drawing rooms of the estate.

  2. Episode 2

    Leave it to PSmith Chapter 2 - Enter Psmith

    In which a splendidly imperturbable young man named Psmith arrives in a decidedly unpicturesque West Kensington street, announces his intention to abandon the family fish business, and unfolds an advertisement for any manner of employment with a panache most his own; meanwhile, the genteel but financially strained Phyllis Jackson hosts a tea-party reunion, where old friendships revive and the tangled intricacies of matrimonial and monetary misadventures come to light. Notwithstanding the presence of schoolmistress-turned-domestic agent Miss Clarkson, and a sudden dash of high literary scandal, the scene is set for a blend of genteel comedy and social manoeuvring at Blandings Castle, which looms surprisingly large on the horizon.

  3. Episode 3

    Leave it to PSmith Chapter 3 - Eve Borrows an Umbrella

    In which a sudden London shower provides the pretext for a genteel umbrella-lending encounter beneath the modest awning of a coal merchant’s shop, eliciting from Psmith a display of chivalrous attentiveness that might well have given the club’s usual antics a run for their money. Meanwhile, Eve Halliday braves the vicissitudes of her world with a stout heart and a charming hat, seeking solace and news amongst the worried and weary in an employment bureau that specialises as much in kindness as in finding positions.

  4. Episode 4

    Leave it to PSmith Chapter 4 - Painful Scene at the Drones Club

    In which Psmith, after a minor contretemps involving a missing umbrella and a distressed club member, exhibits his characteristic charm and unflappable manner as he departs the Drones Club in pursuit of an inquiry at an employment bureau. The scene is coloured by gentle wit and a touch of pathos, with Psmith’s gracious diplomacy shining through the mild turmoil of men and umbrellas.

  5. Episode 5

    Leave it to PSmith Chapter 5 - Psmith Applies for Employment

    In which Psmith, freshly liberated from the fish trade and clad with impeccable taste, encounters the delightful Miss Halliday while seeking employment at an agency, bringing with him a most singular umbrella story. With characteristic wit and charm, he unfurls his tale to Miss Clarkson, determined to secure a job that aligns with his refined sensibilities and decidedly fishless aspirations.

  6. Episode 6

    Leave it to PSmith Chapter 6 - Lord Emsworth Meets a Poet

    In which Psmith embarks on a curious morning’s adventure, navigating eccentric letters and an awkward meeting at the Piccadilly Palace Hotel before indulging in a quietly reflective lunch at the Senior Conservative Club, where he unexpectedly encounters the absent-minded Earl of Emsworth and the tempestuous Mr. McTodd. Meanwhile, botanical disputes and genteel social missteps unfold, culminating in a chance encounter that stirs Psmith’s thoughts towards a charming young lady and a forthcoming journey to the country.

  7. Episode 7

    Leave it to PSmith Chapter 7 - Baxter Suspects

    In which Psmith embarks on a train journey to Blandings Castle, cultivating an amiable rapport with Lord Emsworth while carefully gauging the character of his fellow passengers, including the perplexed but well-meaning Freddie Threepwood. Upon arrival, he finds himself immersed in a quietly curious assembly of artistic and suspicious personages, setting the stage for a season of understated intrigue amid rose-beds and poetry.

  8. Episode 8

    Leave it to PSmith Chapter 8 - Confidences on the Lake

    In which Psmith, with insouciant charm and a touch of the theatrical, welcomes Miss Halliday to the venerable Blandings Castle and navigates the social intricacies of its inhabitants while maintaining an amused detachment from the diligent Baxter and the hapless Freddie. Amidst gentle banter and the perfume of lobelias, they embark on a leisurely tour and a row on the lake, where half-hidden tensions and whispered confidences begin to stir the placid waters of the estate.
