A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The Wit and Wisdom of the Master - all compacted into 128 pithy pages! Tony Ring, the president of the Wodehouse Association and author of the 600,000-word Millennium Wodehouse Concordance, has drawn on his extensive knowledge and even more wonderful enthusiasm to compile an absolutely cracking anthology, which answers all our Christmas present problems in one volume. Here are not only witty epigrams we all know and love (and perhaps lots we don't!) but also longer humorous extracts which are full of wisdom.

Evelyn Waugh has written that Wodehouse produced three wholly original similes on every page he wrote - which, even allowing for exaggeration, must make this one of the most original gift books ever! It will certainly be one of the funniest...

Quatrième de couverture :

'A jolly collection of wit and one-liners from one of our best-loved humorists' Daily Express

When Evelyn Waugh said that P.G. Wodehouse produced three wholly original similes on each page, any slight exaggeration in his remark merely points to the essential truth: Wodehouse's wordplay is unique, matchless and somehow conjured from thin air.

This anthology - in which Wit and Wisdom face each other across the page - is a feast of humour and a marvellous taster for the delights of the complete novels and stories.
