Monty Bodkin

There is much cross-pollenization of characters in Wodehouse's works.  Here we first meet Monty Bodkin at Blandings Castle in a 1933 novel.

Novels

Heavy Weather (1933)

The Luck of the Bodkins (1935)

Pearls, Girls, and Monty Bodkin (1972, aka The Plot That Thickened)

Mike and Psmith

As always, characters from one series cross over into others.  Psmith eventually winds up at Blandings Castle posing as someone else.  But of course.  For, as we all know, Blandings has impostors like other castles have mice.  Also, don't forget - the "P" in Psmith is silent.

Novels

Mike (1909; in 1953 this was split into two books, Mike at Wrykyn and Mike and Psmith, aka Enter Psmith)

Psmith in the City (1910)

Psmith Journalist (1915)

Leave it to Psmith (1923)

Ukridge

Stanley Featherstonehaugh (pronounced Fanshaw) Ukridge.  My best advice is don't go out to lunch with him unless you're prepared to pick up the tab.  Poor Corky never learned and always wound up springing for the feed.

Love among the Chickens (1906, revised 1921)
