Ukridge

Corky Corcoran grudgingly admits that if the leading incidents of Stanley Featherstonhaugh Ukridge's disreputable career are to be given to the public and not, as some might suggest, decently hushed up, then he is the man to do it. Ukridge has flitted about the world like a snipe, leaving a trail of havoc and disaster in his wake.

  • "If Stanley Featherstonehaugh Ukridge had a fiver for every dodgy scheme he has ever floated, he would be a very rich man indeed. In these ten stories he tries every way of making money, from writing political slogans to opening a college for dogs. In his own eyes, Ukridge is a Great Man and a Visionary. In ours, he is English literature's most delightful chancer and one of Wodehouse's greatest comic creations: charming, ambitious, persuasive, optimistic and almost always disastrous."@en
  • "Seemingly a distant cousin of Wodehouse's Bertie Wooster, Stanley Featherstonehaugh Ukridge is a conniving British ne'er-do-well whose hare-brained schemes inevitably embroil his old school friend "Corky" Corcoran, in some embarrassing, uncomfortable, and expensive fallout."@en

  • ""Laddie ... write my biography. Bung it down on paper ... at a conservative estimate, we should clean up at least fifty thousand pounds apiece." Thus spake Stanley Feather-Stonehaugh Ukridge to his long-suffering friend Corky Corcoran. Corky, whose literary efforts to date have consisted of weekly newspaper articles of the type, "Should Curates Kiss?", and a single music hall song, "Mother, She's Pinching My Leg," is reluctant. Nonetheless he grudgingly admits that if the leading incidents of S.F. Ukridge's disreputable career are to be given to the public and not, as some might suggest, decently hushed up, then he is the man to do it. Ukridge, we learn, has flitted about the world like a snipe, leaving a trail of havoc and disaster in his wake. His efforts to make money are all inspired, and all mysteriously doomed."@en
