The Pothunters

Set at a boarding school, The Pothunters is Wodehouses's first novel. The boys of the school are happy to study and take part in their school's boxing and running teams, but when a clan of burglaring ne'er- do-wells steals the school's sports trophies-"pots"-the students join in the hunt for the thieves. Sparkling and witty, The Pothunters is a treat for any Wodehouse fan and offers an unique glimpse into the mind of the writer.

P. G. Wodehouse (1881-1975) was born in Surrey, educated in London, and spent much of his life in Southampton, Long Island, becoming an American citizen in 1955. In a literary career spanning more than seventy years, he published more than ninety books, twenty film scripts, and collaborated on more than thirty plays and musical comedies.
