Mike by P. G. Wodehouse, Fiction, Humorous

The story first appeared in the magazine The Captain, in two separate parts, collected together in the original version of the book; the first part, originally called Jackson Junior, was republished in 1953 under the title Mike at Wrykyn, while the second half, called The Lost Lambs in its serialized version, was released as Enter Psmith in 1935 and then as Mike and Psmith in 1953 - this marks the first appearance of the popular character of Psmith. "I am with you, Comrade Jackson. You won't mind my calling you Comrade, will you? I've just become a Socialist. It's a great scheme. You ought to be one. You work for the equal distribution of property, and start by collaring all you can and sitting on it. We must stick together. We are companions in misfortune. Lost lambs. Sheep that have gone astray. Divided, we fall, together we may worry through. Have you seen Professor Radium yet?" "Our greatest humorous novelist, and indeed one of our greatest writers." -- Richard Gordon
