Ukridge

Resumen del libro

Money makes the world go round for Stanley Featherstonehaugh Ukridge - and when there isnt enough of it, the world just has to spin a bit faster.

Ever on the lookout for a quick buck, a solid gold fortune, or at least a plausible little scrounge, the irrepressible Ukridge gives con men a bad name. Looking like an animated blob of mustard in his bright yellow raincoat, he invests time, passion and energy (but seldom actual cash) in a series of increasingly bizarre money-making schemes. Finance for a dog college? Its yours. Shares in an accident syndicate? Easily arranged. Promoting a kind-hearted heavyweight boxer? A snip.

Poor Corky Corcoran, Ukridges old school chum and confidant, trails through these pages in the ebullient wake of Wodehouses most disreputable but endearing hero and hopes to escape with his shirt at least.
