The heart of a goof Cover Image Book

The heart of a goof / P.G. Wodehouse.

Wodehouse, P. G. (Pelham Grenville), 1881-1975 (author.).

Summary:

"It was a morning when all nature shouted, "Fore!" Thus begins this hilarious anthology of P. G. Wodehouse's collection of nine short golf stories. Originally published in magazines between 1921 and 1926, the tales lead readers on an amusing nine-hole course of courtship, friendship, and business relationships. The narrator, the golf club's oldest member, observes the club's constituents' various golfing emotional setbacks and victories and forces his audience to listen to long anecdotal stories, presenting the sport as an eternal metaphor"-- Provided by publisher.
