The Man with Two Left Feet
- Author: Wodehouse Pelham Grenville
- Genre: Internet
This is an another collection of Wodehouse stories, only one of which ("Extricating Young Gussie") is a Bertie Wooster story. Wodehouse never wrote fantasy, but in real his stories were always fantastical. The idyllic world of young men and authoritative aunts he described was a piece of Wodehouse's imagination, and never existed at any time in England. In this volume, he tells one story ("The Mixer") from the point of view of a dog, and one of his habits was to read the entire Shakespeare's collected works every year, and Willy wasn't a stranger to fantasy, either. This book containing many interesting stories is a great reading!
