Beware -- although Ballantine has titled this book "Something New", it is actually the English version normally titled "Something Fresh". The actual "Something New" has Americans as protagonists, as well as a number of other differences. Not that this isn't a very funny book; it is, but it's not the one that it claims to be.
This book has historic significance for Wodehouse fans, as is explained in the prologue. It is classic Wodehouse, just emerging from the egg, embarking on the type of writing which would see him through to the end of his career as one of the foremost humorists in the English language.
