Love Among the Chickens - P.G. Wodehouse

There is much fun to be had with the early adventures of the roguish Ukridge and his crackpot business venture rearing fowl in Devon. It's early Wodehouse and not quite up to the levels of sustained brilliance that he was later to achieve, but huge fun nevertheless. I particularly enjoyed some of the business on the golf course, and the love story is kind of sweet too.

Thanks to Liz for the recommendation.
