Piccadilly Jim – P.G. Wodehouse (1918)

This early Wodehouse novel is a sparkling comedy of mistaken identities, theatrical antics, and romantic entanglements set in New York and London. The story follows Jim Crocker, a mischievous playboy who, after years of embarrassing his aristocratic family with his drunken escapades (earning him the nickname “Piccadilly Jim”), attempts to reform and win back the affection of his father—only to find himself impersonating his own fabricated alter ego. With a cast of eccentric characters, including the formidable Aunt Nesta and the sharp-witted Ann Chester, Wodehouse delivers his signature wit and impeccable timing.
