About This Item
MP3 Audio CD. Something New is the original title of the novel by Wodehouse, the title of the version that was first serialized, then published in book form in the US in 1915. The book came out in the UK under the title Something Fresh, the two versions being slightly different when it comes to some minor events, but with the main plot being essentially the same.This gem by Wodehouse revolves around a collection of scarabs and it introduces Lord Emsworth, a character that later appears in numerous other stories by Wodehouse. He is the owner of the scarab collection that happens to include a holy beetle that belongs, in fact, to an American millionaire and has been accidentally purloined by the absent-minded lord. The millionaire offers a substantial reward to anyone who retrieves his scarab and returns it to him. Two young people try to accomplish the secret mission - Joan Valentine, a story writer for a gossip magazine and Ashe Marson, a writer of detective stories, both in disguise and both knowing that whoever attempts to take the scarab, must walk on egg shells because the lord?s son and the millionaire?s daughter are engaged to be married.The story of Something New is exciting, eventful and full of funny happenings from beginning to end. There are all sorts of complications caused by mistaken identities and impostors and there are also budding love affairs every step of the way. Though this is one of Wodehouse?s early novels, the style and the plot construction are already recognizable ? the language is satirical and funny, the characters well-rounded and the plot never ceases to amuse. Something New will provide excellent entertainment for readers who are already familiar with Wodehousian humor and are looking for another piece to enjoy and it is a great choice for those who don?t know Wodehouse yet.
