The author of almost a hundred books and the creator of Jeeves, Blandings Castle, Psmith, Ukridge, Uncle Fred and Mr Mulliner, P.G. Wodehouse was born in 1881 and educated at Dulwich College. After two years with the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank he became a full-time writer, contributing to a variety of periodicals including Punch and the Globe. He married in 1914. As well as his novels and short stories, he wrote lyrics for musical comedies with Guy Bolton and Jerome Kern, and at one stage had five musicals running simultaneously on Broadway. His time in Hollywood also provided much source material for fiction.
At the age of 93, in the New Year's Honours List of 1975, he received a long-overdue knighthood, only to die on St Valentine's Day some 45 days later.
A Jeeves and Wooster collection
An outstanding collection of Jeeves stories, every one a winner, in which Jeeves endeavours to give satisfaction:
By saving a grumpy cabinet minister from being marooned and attacked by a swan - in the process saving Bertie Wooster from his impending doom...
By rescuing Bingo Little and Tuppy Glossop from the soup (twice each)...
By arranging rather too many performances of the song 'Sonny Boy' to a not very appreciative audience...
And by a variety of other sparkling stratagems that should reduce you to helpless laughter.
