Wodehouse's early comic novel of romance, bad planning, poultry farming, and magnificent financial irresponsibility.\u003c\/strong\u003e Jeremy Garnet is drawn into the latest scheme of his old friend Stanley Featherstonehaugh Ukridge, a man of boundless confidence and almost no practical sense, who has decided that running a chicken farm in Dorset is the sure road to prosperity. What follows is a classic Wodehouse comedy of misplaced optimism, rural chaos, unpaid bills, romantic complications, social embarrassment, and chickens behaving exactly as chickens are likely to behave when placed at the centre of a business plan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1906 and later revised by Wodehouse, \u003cem\u003eLove Among the Chickens\u003c\/em\u003e is notable as the first appearance of Ukridge, one of Wodehouse's great comic forces of disruption. The novel shows the young Wodehouse already developing the machinery that would define his mature comic fiction: impossible schemes, buoyant dialogue, emotional entanglements, amiable disaster, and an instinctive sympathy for people who should know better but rarely do. For readers of classic comic fiction, British humor, romantic farce, early Wodehouse, and light English novels, \u003cem\u003eLove Among the Chickens\u003c\/em\u003e remains a brisk and charming entry in the Wodehouse canon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 140\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.44 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 03, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50377919267053,"sku":"9781515432814","price":34.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/8918\/9441\/files\/fsEHEDqlCW9781515432814.webp?v=1785620668","url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/en-ca\/products\/love-among-the-chickens-9781604597851-hardcover","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
