Ukridge is a collection of short stories by
P. G. Wodehouse, first published in the United Kingdom on 3 June 1924 by
Herbert Jenkins, London, and in the United States on 30 July 1925 by
George H. Doran, New York, under the title He Rather Enjoyed It.[1]
Ukridge had previously appeared in Love Among the Chickens (1906), Wodehouse's first
novel to be published in the US, and would return in some other shorts. The timeline of his adventures is rather hard to follow—the tales collected here begin with him meeting up with Corky after a long separation, and follow fairly neatly on from each other, via being disowned by his
Aunt Julia to meeting
Millie, to whom he is married by the time of Love Among the Chickens. In the later shorts, however, he seems to be still single and living sporadically with his aunt.
