About the Author:
Review:
Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (1881-1975) was an English humorist who wrote novels, short stories, plays, poems, song lyrics, and numerous pieces of journalism. He was highly popular throughout a career that lasted more than seventy years, and his many writings continue to be widely read. He is best known for his novels and short stories of Bertie Wooster and his manservant Jeeves and for his settings of English upper-class society of the pre- and post-World War I era. He lived in several countries before settling in the United States after World War II. During the 1920s, he collaborated with Broadway legends like Cole Porter and George Gershwin on musicals and, in the 1930s, expanded his repertoire by writing for motion pictures. He was honored with a knighthood in 1975.
Wodehouse always lifts your spirits, no matter how high they happen to be already.
-- "Lynne Truss, New York Times bestselling author"Not only the funniest English novelist who ever wrote but one of our finest stylists.
-- "Susan Hill, New York Times bestselling author"The incomparable and timeless genius-perfect for readers of all ages, shapes, and sizes!
-- "Kate Mosse, New York Times bestselling author"For as long as I'm immersed in a P. G. Wodehouse book, it's possible to keep the real world at bay and live in a far, far nicer, funnier one where happy endings are the order of the day.
-- "Marian Keyes, internationally bestselling author"It's dangerous to use the word genius to describe a writer, but I'll risk it with [Wodehouse].
-- "John Humphrys, author, journalist, and radio and television presenter"[P. G. Wodehouse] is known for numerous popular stories and novels about his whimsical upper-class characters: the Honorable Bertie Wooster, Psmith, Mr. Mulliner; Jeeves, the valet; and assorted peers. Much of the humor stems from the idle gentleman. The books contain fantasy, affectionate satire, and the absurd comic situations of farce. The style is very elaborate, full of verbal ingenuity, mock pomposity, and unexpected slang.
