Wodehouse’s classic 1920s comedic novel. It showcases iconic characters like the scheming butler Keggs and detective Percy Pilbeam, delivering masterful humor and style. With fast same-day dispatch for orders before noon, this book is a must-have for collectors and fans of sharp, timeless British literature. ## Description A butler named Keggs who, having overheard the planning of a scheme, later decides to try and make money out of his knowledge. It features Percy Pilbeam, the unscrupulous head of the Argus Detective Agency, who first appeared in Bill the Conqueror (1924) and was in several other Wodehouse books, including a visit to Blandings Castle in Summer Lightning (1929). Review: Later but excellent Wodehouse - A mass of recycling of themes and characters originating even from the !920's, but unlike in some other cases, done superbly, with inimitable style. In fact the revival of these ancient characters adds to the charm and wit. Even the lovers show a bit verve. A very decent addition to a collection of the masterworks, and the modern Everyman reprints are beyond praise. Review: Masterful comedy - This fairly short novel would be an ideal start for anyone wishing to sample the style and content of Wodehouse's writings. It is funny, well-crafted and proves that an author, when applying a little effort, can actually create long, grammatically complex sentences which flow easily together. Coming from a working class background, I love the escape into this "other world" of butlers, Lords, aristocrats and "toffs." England was a wonderful place when such as these were in charge. We seem now to have thrown the baby out with the bathwater in our attempts to be "fair" and forcefully create "equality of opportunity." Well, some will always be born more equal than others and I for one don't see the problem! ## Features - New - Mint Condition - Dispatch same day for order received before 12 noon - International products have separate terms, are sold from abroad and may differ from local products, including fit, age ratings, and language of product, labeling or instructions. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 344,072 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 10,215 in Fiction Classics (Books) 17,134 in Humorous Fiction 25,579 in Literary Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 23 Reviews | ## Images ![Something Fishy (Everyman's Library P G WODEHOUSE) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81A8tIq3HtL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Later but excellent Wodehouse *by N***F on 6 February 2021* A mass of recycling of themes and characters originating even from the !920's, but unlike in some other cases, done superbly, with inimitable style. In fact the revival of these ancient characters adds to the charm and wit. Even the lovers show a bit verve. A very decent addition to a collection of the masterworks, and the modern Everyman reprints are beyond praise. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Masterful comedy *by R***R on 3 January 2011* This fairly short novel would be an ideal start for anyone wishing to sample the style and content of Wodehouse's writings. It is funny, well-crafted and proves that an author, when applying a little effort, can actually create long, grammatically complex sentences which flow easily together. Coming from a working class background, I love the escape into this "other world" of butlers, Lords, aristocrats and "toffs." England was a wonderful place when such as these were in charge. We seem now to have thrown the baby out with the bathwater in our attempts to be "fair" and forcefully create "equality of opportunity." Well, some will always be born more equal than others and I for one don't see the problem! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fish Prefered *by I***' on 23 May 2008* `Something Fishy' is the sequel to `Money in the Bank' and once again Lord Uffenham is short of money and has had to let out his country pile but this time rather than hunting for diamonds Lord Uffenham intends to revive the family fortunes by the sale of some forged paintings. Once again a further niece is engaged to the wrong man and Lord Uffenham must right this wrong while ensuring that his finances will stretch to the wedding. Another Wodehouse campaigner of old, Keggs, the esteemed butler of short story `The Good Angel' and novels `A Damsel in Distress' and `The Coming of Bill', now retired from business (his last employed being Lord Uffenham) he now owns three adjacent houses in Wodehouse suburb Valley Fields, one of which he lives in while renting one to Lord Uffenham and a further to a sculptor of very little merit. Keggs, has never lost his passion for money making schemes and has hatched such a scheme which he believes will make his retirement all the more comfortable. Also worth mentioning is Keggs' brother in law, Battling Billson, who was previously managed by Wodehouse rogue Ukridge. And Percy Pilbeam also appears as a man unrivalled in the art of stealing compromising letters. All in all it's like a `best of' Wodehouse compilation. One of my favourite Wodehouse novels and by definition, one of my favourite novels. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/58158707-something-fishy-everymans-library-p-g-wodehouse](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/58158707-something-fishy-everymans-library-p-g-wodehouse) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-11*
