Summary "Meet Mr Mulliner" by P. G. Wodehouse is a collection of humorous short stories written in the early 20th century. The book introduces readers to a charming narrator, Mr. Mulliner, who recounts amusing anecdotes about his family, particularly focusing on various members, including his nephew George and his brother Wilfred. The stories often explore themes of love, social awkwardness, and the quirks of human behavior with a lighthearted and whimsical touch. The opening of the book sets the stage in the Anglers' Rest, a bar-parlour where Mr. Mulliner interacts with fellow patrons, providing a glimpse into his engaging storytelling style. He begins by sharing a tale about his nephew George, who struggles with a terrible stammer that hampers his ability to express his feelings for a girl named Susan. George seeks help from a specialist who suggests he engage strangers in conversation, leading to comical and awkward encounters. The narrative teases a blend of romance and humor, as George’s adventures in overcoming his shyness introduce readers to the charming, eccentric world that Wodehouse is renowned for.
