The Gold Bat | 
so-soThis was first published in 1904 when Wodehouse was just setting out and it's fair to say it doesn't give much indication of the masterpieces which were to follow. It's a school story, many pages of which are dedicated to descriptions of rugby matches, with only the most rudimentary attempt at characterisation or plot. That said, Wodehouse could never be dull and I read this slim tale in a sitting.
