1966 short story collection by P. G. Wodehouse

Plum Pie is a collection of nine short stories by P. G. Wodehouse, first published in the United Kingdom on 22 September 1966 by Barrie & Jenkins (under the Herbert Jenkins imprint), and in the United States on 1 December 1967 by Simon & Schuster, Inc., New York. The collection's title is derived from P. G. Wodehouse's nickname, Plum. All stories except one belong to a large bag of P. G. Wodehouse regular series: one Jeeves, one golf story, one Blandings, one Ukridge, one Mr Mulliner, one longer Freddie Threepwood story, and two Drones Club members Bingo Little and Freddie Widgeon. Most of the stories had previously appeared in Argosy in the UK and in Playboy or The Saturday Evening Post in the US. The UK version included some extra items between the stories, mostly "Our Man in America" anecdotes originally appearing in Punch.

In Playboy, Bill Charmatz illustrated "Bingo Bans the Bomb", "Stylish Stouts", and "A Good Cigar Is a Smoke". "Sleepy Time" and "Bingo Bans the Bomb" were illustrated by "Graham" in Argosy. "Sleepy Time" was illustrated by Charles Saxon in The Saturday Evening Post in 1965, and reprinted in the magazine's September 1985 issue with the same illustrations. "Ukridge Starts a Bank Account" was illustrated by Edward Gorey in Playboy. "Sleepy Time" was included in the 1973 Wodehouse collection The Golf Omnibus. "Ukridge Starts a Bank Account" was included in the 1975 collection The World of Ukridge, and in the 1981 collection Wodehouse on Crime. "Bingo Bans the Bomb" and "Stylish Stouts" were included in the 1982 collection Tales From the Drones Club. "Life with Freddie" is the longest story in Plum Pie. It may be considered long enough to be a novella, though it is categorised as a short story. In the first UK edition of Plum Pie, "Life with Freddie" is 67 pages long, while the next longest story, "Jeeves and the Greasy Bird", is 45 pages long. According to Wodehouse scholar Richard Usborne, the length and course of "Life with Freddie" suggest that it may have been planned to be made into a full novel. In "Life with Freddie", Freddie Threepwood lives in Great Neck, "near what had been the Sound View golf course till the developers took it over". Wodehouse started playing golf seriously in 1918 when he and his wife moved to Great Neck, Long Island, and he played at the Sound View Golf Club. The Sound View course inspired the Old Member's course in The Clicking of Cuthbert and The Heart of a Goof, collections of short stories written by Wodehouse, though the Sound View name did not appear in a Wodehouse story until 1966 in "Life with Freddie".
