''The Little Nugget'' is a novel by P. G. Wodehouse. It was first published in ''Munsey's Magazine'' in August 1913, before being published as a book in the UK on 28 August 1913 by Methuen & Co., London, and in the US on 10 January 1914 by W.J.

''The Little Nugget'' was reprinted in the ''Philadelphia Record'' on 12 May 1940.
==Plot introduction==
The "Little Nugget" of the title is one Ogden Ford, a spoilt, unpleasant child of overindulgent, wealthy parents; he is so dubbed due to his immense ransom value, being a prime target for kidnappers. The novel revolves around numerous schemes to kidnap the boy, for various ends. It is essentially a comic romance, whose hero, Peter Burns, leaves behind a comfortable lifestyle to become a master at the boy's school, thanks to his scheming fiancee, and finds the change of lifestyle invigorating.
Ogden and his mother Nesta also appear in ''Piccadilly Jim'' (1918).
