‘The Pothunters’ is P.G. Wodehouse’s first published novel, released in 1902. It is set in a fictional English public school called St. Austin’s, and it follows the adventures of a group of schoolboys.
The term ‘pothunter’ originally referred to someone who illegally hunted game on private land. In the context of the novel, however, it refers to those who search for archaeological artifacts. The plot revolves around a rivalry between two groups of boys: one seeking to win a competition for discovering archaeological relics and the other trying to thwart their efforts.
Wodehouse uses his keen sense of humor to depict the characters and events at St. Austin’s, capturing the camaraderie, pranks, and challenges of school life. While ‘The Pothunters’ may not be as well-known as some of Wodehouse’s later works, it still showcases his early talent for crafting engaging and entertaining stories.
