''The Little Nugget'' is a novel by P. G. Wodehouse. It was first published in ''Munsey's Magazine'' in August 1913, before being published as a book in the UK on 28 August 1913 by Methuen & Co., London, and in the US on 10 January 1914 by W.J. Watt and Company, New York.〔McIlvaine, E., Sherby, L.S. and Heineman, J.H. (1990) ''P.G. Wodehouse: A comprehensive bibliography and checklist''. New York: James H. Heineman, pp. 25–26. ISBN 087008125X〕 An earlier version of the story, without the love interest, had appeared as a serial in ''The Captain'' between January and March 1913 under the title ''The Eighteen-Carat Kid''; this version was not published in the US until August 1980, when it appeared in a volume entitled The Eighteen-Carat Kid and Other Stories. ''The Little Nugget'' was reprinted in the ''Philadelphia Record'' on 12 May 1940. ==Plot introduction== The "Little Nugget" of the title is one Ogden Ford, a spoilt, unpleasant child of overindulgent, wealthy parents; he is so dubbed due to his immense ransom value, being a prime target for kidnappers. The novel revolves around numerous schemes to kidnap the boy, for various ends. It is essentially a comic romance, whose hero, Peter Burns, leaves behind a comfortable lifestyle to become a master at the boy's school, thanks to his scheming fiancee, and finds the change of lifestyle invigorating. Ogden and his mother Nesta also appear in ''Piccadilly Jim'' (1918).
