This is a P.G. Wodehouse novel. It takes a lot of effort for Jimmy Crocker to become Piccadilly Jim - nights on the town roistering, headlines in the gossip columns, a string of broken hearts and breaches of promise. Eventually, he becomes rather good at it and manages to go to pieces with his eyes open. But no sooner has Jimmy cut a wild swathe through fashionable London than his terrifying Aunt Nesta decides he must mend his ways. He then falls in love with the girl he has hurt most of all, and after that things get complicated. In a dizzying plot, impersonations pile on impersonations so that (for reasons that will become clear, we promise) Jimmy ends up having to pretend he's himself. Does he deserve a happy ending? Read and find out.
Piccadilly Jim is notorious. He is splendid 'copy' for the journalist, and a source of exquisite anguish to his family. No one ever knows what he is going to do next. In his own country the young American is regarded as an epitome of wickedness and dissipation. He is intent on seeing life. His aunt, on the other hand, is equally determined that he shall see reason. She starts for Europe bent upon her nephew's salvation
