The Eighteen-Carat Kid and Other Stories

"The Eighteen-Carat Kid and Other Stories" is a collection of early short stories and a novella by P. G. Wodehouse, first published in the United States on September 1 1980 by Continuum, New York, five years after Wodehouse's death.

The collection was edited and introduced by Wodehouse's biographer, David A. Jasen. The stories had all previously appeared in magazines, and "William Tell Told Again" (a retelling of the William Tell legend) was published as an illustrated book in the United Kingdom in 1904.
