The Masked Troubadour

The Masked Troubadour

"The Masked Troubadour" is a short story by English comic writer P. G. Wodehouse, which first appeared in the U.K. in the December 1936 issue of the Strand. It was included in the UK collection Lord Emsworth and Others (1937), and in the U.S. equivalent Crime Wave at Blandings. It stars young Drones Club member Freddie Widgeon.

"Reggie and the Greasy Bird" is a rewritten version of the story with different settings and main characters, created because Wodehouse needed the money for his taxes. It appeared in the U.S. in the November 28, 1936 issue of The Saturday Evening Post, and was later included in booklet 9 of Plum Stones, a collection of Wodehouse oddities and rarities.
