Mike is a school story by P. G. Wodehouse, first published on 15 September 1909 by Adam & Charles Black, London.[1] The story first appeared in the magazine The Captain, in two separate parts that were collected together in the original version of the book; the first part, originally called Jackson Junior, was republished in 1953 under the title Mike at Wrykyn, while the second half, called The Lost Lambs in its serialised version, was released as Enter Psmith in 1935 and then as Mike and Psmith in 1953.[2] Although Mike was one of Wodehouse's earlier books, Wodehouse thought it his best work.[3]
