About the Author:
P. G. Wodehouse was born in England in 1881 and in 1955 became an American citizen. He published more than ninety books and had a successful career writing lyrics and musicals in collaboration with Jerome Kern, Guy Bolton, and Cole Porter, among others.
Review:
“Wodehouse is the funniest writer―that is, the most resourceful and unflagging deliverer of fun―that the human race, a glum crowd, has yet produced.”
- The New Yorker
“A brilliantly funny writer―perhaps the most consistently funny the English language has yet produced.”
- The Times [London]
“There are eleven tales in this book and each is the best.”
- The Observer
“Wodehouse’s idyllic world can never stale. He will continue to release future generations from captivity that may be more irksome than our own. He has made a world for us to live in and delight in.”
- Evelyn Waugh
“You should read Wodehouse when you’re well, and when you’re poorly; when you’re travelling, and when you’re not; when you’re feeling clever, and when you’re feeling utterly dim. Wodehouse always lifts your spirits, no matter how high they happen to be already.”
- Lynne Truss
“You don’t analyze such sunlit perfection, you just bask in its warmth and splendor.”
- Stephen Fry
“The works of Wodehouse continue on their unique way, unmarked by the passage of time.”
- Kingsley Amis
“Sublime comic genius.”
- Ben Elton
