The Little Warrior

"The Little Warrior" by P. G. Wodehouse is a funny story that uses clever words and jokes, probably from long ago. It's about a friendly, but not-so-sure guy named Freddie Rooke, who's trying to help his friend Derek Underhill get through some tricky situations about love and family. Derek has to meet his scary mom, Lady Underhill, and she still needs to meet Jill Mariner, who Derek wants to marry. The story begins with Freddie complaining about not having a good breakfast because he had too much fun the night before. He’s worried about Derek seeing his mother again because she might not like Jill. The story jumps between Freddie trying to be a good friend and Derek being worried about his mother being bossy. The beginning hints at a fun and smart look at relationships mixed with what society expects.
