About this eBook

Author Wodehouse, P. G. (Pelham Grenville), 1881-1975
Title Love Among the Chickens
Credits Produced by Charles and Dagny. HTML version by Al Haines.
Summary "Love Among the Chickens" by P. G. Wodehouse is a humorous novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the misadventures of Jeremy Garnet, who finds himself unwittingly entangled in the chaotic life of his old friend, Stanley Featherstonehaugh Ukridge. The plot hints at a mix of romance and comedy as the characters embark on a chicken farming venture, promising uproarious situations due to Ukridge's reckless enthusiasm and lack of forethought. The opening of the novel introduces us to Garnet, who is attempting to focus on writing during a sweltering London summer when he receives a letter about Ukridge's visit. The narrative quickly establishes the characterization of Ukridge as a loud and boisterous man with a knack for getting into trouble. After Garnet learns that Ukridge is in England and planning a chicken farm, he is drawn into a web of amusing chaos and is invited to join this unexpected venture. This sets the stage for a journey filled with comedic blunders, misunderstandings, and a potential romantic subplot, particularly as Garnet becomes infatuated with a girl named Phyllis. The tone is light-hearted, foreshadowing the entertaining escapades that the characters will navigate throughout their farm endeavors. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
