P. G. Wodehouse 
Piccadilly Jim 

Ne’er-do-well Jimmy Crocker has never been good for much other than drinking, fighting and womanizing, however when he falls in love, and at the insistence of his Aunt Nesta, he becomes determined to reform his ways. In order to win the heart of his love he must pretend to be someone else and gets caught up in a comical kidnapping plot. ’Piccadilly Jim’ is a classic comedy of manners and mistaken identities in the style that fans of P. G. Wodehouse will be accustomed.
