The Gem Collector. By P.G. Wodehouse

The Gem Collector

P.G. Wodehouse

Project Gutenberg EBook #8931

First published 1910

  The book has also been revised and published as 'A Gentleman of Leisure', which I have read, but remember only vaguely. The Gem Collector is about a gentleman-thief who falls in love with a crooked policeman's daughter, comes into money through a legacy, reforms, and marries the girl. The book has no set pieces, but some easy language and writing. These are when PGW was just flexing and trying out his awesome literary muscles.
