The Luck Stone

Published under a pseudonym in the weekly magazine Chums, The Luck Stone was written very early in Wodehouse's career when he was still trying to establish himself as a write by trying different genres. It is the solitary example of his output of what one scholar has called the 'blood and thunder' adventure stories of which the youthful Wodehouse was himself an avid consumer. It even includes what must be one of the earliest fictional car crashes!
