The Luck of the Bodkins chronicles the chaotic misadventures of Monty Bodkin, a hapless young man desperately trying to win back his fiancée, Gertrude Butterwick, while simultaneously becoming entangled in a smuggling scheme involving a pearl necklace hidden inside a Mickey Mouse doll. P.G. Wodehouse orchestrates a magnificent collision of mistaken intentions, romantic misunderstandings, and sheer comedic catastrophe, all set against the elegant backdrop of a luxury liner crossing the Atlantic in the 1930s.\n\nA masterclass in the art of comic timing, Wodehouse's prose fizzes with wit, warmth, and an almost musical precision that has cemented his reputation as the undisputed master of English humour. The narrative illustrates his signature genius for constructing labyrinthine plots that somehow resolve with perfect, satisfying logic — leaving the reader breathless with laughter at every turn. First published in 1935 and released by the distinguished London imprint Herbert Jenkins, this novel remains a shining jewel in the Wodehouse canon, and a reminder that no writer before or since has made the English language quite so irresistibly funny. Will Monty's luck finally hold, or will the Bodkin name go down with the ship?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203227656411,"sku":"2026100009550-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/55b930c8-3a3d-4db0-a461-d18afc571dc4.png?v=1788146187","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100009550-secondhand-the-luck-of-the-bodkins","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
