Something New

‘Something New,’ originally published in Great Britain in 1915, is considered to be one of P.G Wodehouse’s best novels. It is a comic caricature of aristocratic life. The novel introduces Lord Emsworth of Blandings Castle, whose home and family reappear in many of Wodehouse’s later short stories and novels. Young neighbours and fellow-writers Ashe Marson and Joan Valentine, newly met and both in need of a change of direction, find themselves drawn down to Blandings, for various reasons attempting to retrieve a scarab belonging to an American millionaire, absent-mindedly purloined by Lord Emsworth. Once within the Castle's idyllic walls, despite impersonating servants, romance cannot help but blossom; meanwhile, Freddie Threepwood, engaged to the millionaire's daughter, is worried about some incriminating letters. The novel earned such impressive commercial success that it was reprinted for American audiences as well with minor changes to appeal to the demographic. With amusing and lovable characters, it delivers a light-hearted but exciting narrative that keeps audiences entertained even over one-hundred years after its first publication.
