About this listen
 Step into the world of Mike, where you’ll meet the unforgettable characters Mike Jackson and Psmith, who later appear in several of Wodehouses beloved works. This captivating novel chronicles their first encounter as teenagers at a British boarding school. Although Psmith doesn’t make his entrance until midway through the story, the book was cleverly published in two parts Mike at Wrykyn and Mike and Psmith. With plenty of cricket and a delightful dose of schoolboy antics, you won’t need to be a cricket aficionado to appreciate the humorous mischief these boys get into as they playfully challenge each other and their teachers. -Summary by Debra Lynn
