Synopsis

From the comedic master P. G. Wodehouse, the story of a glutinous man and his decision to commit suicide Mr. Meggs has decided to end his life. Middle-aged, overweight, and dyspeptic, he finds that his ceaseless stomach agitation has become too much to bear. With no relatives or a family of his own, he plans to disperse his fortune among his former colleagues. Much to his own delight, he drafts six letters, each containing a banknote. He has even set aside a significant sum for Miss Pillenger, his loyal, austere secretary. Miss Pillengers reaction to his generosity, however, is entirely unexpected. And in a series of absurd events, Mr. Meggs discovers a few long-ignored truths.

About P. G. Wodehouse

Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (1881–1975) was an English humorist who
wrote novels, short stories, plays, poems, song lyrics, and numerous pieces of
journalism. He was highly popular throughout a career that lasted more than
seventy years, and his many writings continue to be widely read. He is best
known for his novels and short stories of Bertie Wooster and his manservant
Jeeves and for his settings of English upper-class society of the pre– and
post–World War I era. He lived in several countries before settling in the United States after
World War II. During the 1920s, he collaborated with Broadway legends like Cole
Porter and George Gershwin on musicals and, in the 1930s, expanded his
repertoire by writing for motion pictures. He was honored with a knighthood in
1975.
