It’s also helpful to know that Wodehouse’s books were often published under different titles in the UK and US. Wodehouse also rewrote some of his early stories, so the beginning isn’t always the best place to start. If you read Wodehouse in order of book publication you will encounter spoilers, particularly in the Blandings series.

Many of Wodehouse’s stories first appeared in magazines such as The Strand (UK) and The Saturday Evening Post (US), but weren’t always published in book form in the same order, or even under the same titles. See the School Stories Reading List for a guide to the series. Or head straight for his best work in the genre, Mike and Psmith. Wodehouse’s first published novel, The Pothunters(1902) Some were published as serials and then as a full book several years later.Wodehouse began writing at a young age and his early school stories depict English public-school life as he knew it - with plenty of sports, as well as the literary and classical references he used so cleverly in his adult work. A lot of his books were published first in the US or first in the UK, and then in the other country in a different year.
