Leave it to Psmith

“The Funniest Writer ever to Put pen to paper.” —Hugh Laurie
“Wodehouse is the Funniest writer - that is, the most resourceful and Unflagging Deliverer of fun - that the Human race, a glum Crowd, has yet Produced.” —The New Yorker

First published in 1923, ‘Leave It to Psmith’ is a sparkling comedy by P.G. Wodehouse, celebrated for his witty dialogue, eccentric characters, and wonderfully absurd plots. This standalone novel—set in the whimsical world of Blandings Castle—follows the charming and unflappable Rupert Psmith, a gentleman ready to solve any problem, no matter how bizarre, with his trademark “Leave it to Psmith.”
When the financially-strapped Freddie Threepwood needs to recover a stolen necklace to save his family's fortunes, he turns to Psmith for help. What follows is a madcap adventure involving mistaken identities, secret schemes, and romantic mix-ups that only Psmith’s quick thinking and quirky style can untangle.
Set against the backdrop of British high society, the novel is a delightful blend of satire, clever wordplay, and farcical twists. Wodehouse’s light, elegant prose and effortless humor make this an enduring favorite for fans of classic comedic fiction.
‘Leave It to Psmith’ remains one of Wodehouse’s most beloved works—a joyful escape into a world of sophisticated silliness and brilliantly orchestrated chaos.
