"The Small Bachelor" is a novel by P. G. WODEHOUSE, first published in 1927. Set during Prohibition, it tells the story of George Finch, a short-statured artist living in New York's Greenwich Village. George falls in love with Molly Waddington, but faces opposition from her socially ambitious step-mother, who wants Molly to marry an English lord. The plot involves various characters, including George's friend J. Hamilton Beamish, a mild-mannered policeman named Garroway, and Molly's father, Mr. Waddington. The story takes twists and turns as George and Molly's wedding is threatened by the arrival of George's ex-fiancée and a fake girlfriend. Eventually, Mrs. Waddington's doubts about George's morals are dispelled, and the story ends with the characters planning to go out West. The novel was adapted into a silent film in 1927 and a theatrical adaptation titled "Over the Moon" in 2003.
