School stories
editThe following list includes 37 school stories written by Wodehouse. Most of the stories were not published in US periodicals. The fictional school at which each story takes place is noted. Some stories seem to have been rewritten with a different location for later republication. Several of Wodehouse's early novels are also set at schools, and multiple characters in the short stories also appear in one or two of the novels. The Pothunters is set at St Austin's, A Prefect's Uncle at Beckford, The Gold Bat and The White Feather at Wrykyn, The Head of Kay's at Eckleton, and Mike at Wrykyn and Sedleigh.
Each of the stories was published either in Tales of St. Austin's (1903) or later in the book Tales of Wrykyn and Elsewhere (1997). Some of the short stories in Tales of Wrykyn and Elsewhere had previously been published in The Uncollected Wodehouse (US, 1976), The Swoop! and Other Stories (US, 1979), or Plum Stones (UK, 1993).
