The Small Bachelor
1927
The Small Bachelor is a comedic novel by P.G. Wodehouse, first published in 1927. It follows George Finch, a short-statured aspiring artist in New York City, as he navigates romantic entanglements and social obstacles, particularly from his love interest Molly Waddington's ambitious stepmother. Set during Prohibition, the story features a cast of quirky characters, including the sharp-witted Hamilton Beamish and George's awkward butler, Mullett. The novel is notable for its humorous portrayal of upper-class society and the challenges of bachelorhood.
