Each time I read a PGW book, I think it must surely be his masterpiece, and each time the next one is somehow even better ! Ukridge light-heartedly plumbs the depths of human depravity, and leaves one even more convinced of the doctrine of original sin and of the workings of divine providence! Notably this is a wonderful description of the world of East-End boxing in the thirties . Highly recommended. Ukridge is the architypal cleptomaniac sponger with no holds barred, and Corcoran his architypal naive victim.
