''The Man With Two Left Feet, and Other Stories'' is a collection of short stories by British comic writer P. G. Wodehouse (1881–1975), first published in the UK on 8 March 1917 by Methuen & Co., London, and in the US on 1 February 1933 by A.L. Burt and Co., 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. 31–32. ISBN 0-87008125-X.〕 All the stories had previously appeared in periodicals, usually ''The Strand Magazine'' in the UK and ''The Red Book Magazine'' or ''The Saturday Evening Post'' in the US. It is a fairly miscellaneous collection — most of the stories concern relationships, sports and household pets, and do not feature any of Wodehouse's regular characters; one, however, ''Extricating Young Gussie'', is notable for the first appearance in print of two of Wodehouse's best-known characters, Jeeves and his master Bertie Wooster (although Bertie's surname isn't given and Jeeves's role is very small), and Bertie's fearsome Aunt Agatha. == Contents == * ''Bill the Bloodhound'' * * US: ''The Century Magazine'', February 1915 * * UK: ''The Strand Magazine'', April 1915 * ''Extricating Young Gussie'' * * US: ''The Saturday Evening Post'', 18 September, 1915 * * UK: ''The Strand Magazine'', January 1916 * ''Wilton's Holiday'' * * UK: ''The Strand Magazine'', July 1915 * * US: ''Illustrated Sunday Magazine'' and ''Minneapolis Tribune Sunday Magazine'', 19 March 1916 (as ''Wilton's Vacation'') * ''The Mixer: He Meets a Shy Gentleman'' * * UK: ''The Strand Magazine'', November 1915 * * US: ''The Red Book Magazine'', June 1916 (as ''A Very Shy Gentleman'') * ''The Mixer: He Moves in Society'' * * UK: ''The Strand Magazine'', December 1915 * * US: ''The Red Book Magazine'', July 1916 (as ''Breaking into Society'') * ''Crowned Heads'' * * US: ''The Argosy'', June 1914 * * UK: ''Pearson's Magazine'', April 1915 * ''At Geisenheimer's'' * * US: ''The Saturday Evening Post'', 21 August 1915 * * UK: ''The Strand Magazine'', October 1915 (as ''The Love-r-ly Silver Cup'') * ''The Making of Mac's'' * * UK: ''The Strand Magazine'', May 1915 * * US: ''The Red Book Magazine'', May 1916 (as ''The Romance of "Mac's"'') * ''One Touch of Nature'' * * US: ''McClure's Magazine'', August 1914 (as ''Brother Fans'') * ''Black for Luck'' * * UK: ''The Strand Magazine'', June 1915 * * US: ''The Red Book Magazine'', July 1915 (as ''A Black Cat for Luck'') * ''The Romance of an Ugly Policeman'' * * UK: ''The Strand Magazine'', January 1915 * * US: ''Ainslee's Magazine'', September 1926 * ''A Sea of Troubles'' (''A Sea of Trouble'' in the US edition) * * US: ''McClure's Magazine'', September 1914 * * UK: ''Pearson's Magazine'', June 1915 * ''The Man with Two Left Feet'' * * US: ''The Saturday Evening Post'', 18 March 1916 * * UK: ''The Strand Magazine'', May 1916 In the US version of the book, ''Wilton's Holiday'', ''Crowned Heads'' and the two-part ''The Mixer'' were omitted, and replaced with three other stories, ''Absent Treatment'', ''Rallying Round Old George'' and ''Doing Clarence a Bit of Good'', which all feature Reggie Pepper and had all appeared in the UK in ''My Man Jeeves'' (1919). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Man with Two Left Feet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
