About this listen

An early Wodehouse novel, this is both a sporting story and a tale of friendship between two boys at boarding school. Mike (introduced in the novel Mike at Wrykyn) is a seriously good cricketer who forms an unlikely alliance with old Etonian Psmith (‘the P is silent’) after they both find themselves fish out of water at a new school, Sedleigh, where they eventually overcome the hostility of others and their own prejudices to become stars.

Even listeners uninterested in cricket are likely to be gripped by descriptions of matches, and the plot, though slight, reaches a satisfying conclusion. But the real meat of the novel is to be found in the characters, especially the elegant Psmith, one of Wodehouse’s immortal creations, who features in three of his later novels (Psmith in the City, Psmith Journalist, Leave it to Psmith).

Psmashing!

Mike and Psmith is a wonderful introduction to the Psmith story line which is continued in Psmith in the City; Psmith, Journalist and Leave it to Psmith. A complete absence of cricket knowledge can be a bit troubling when reading this book, but a quick Google search of basics of cricket will give you all you need to know. Overall, it is classic Wodehouse with witty dialogue and plot twists. If you enjoy Wodehouse you will enjoy this story.
