About the Author
Wodehouse, P. G.: - 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.
Praise for this book
Sublime comic genius.--Ben Elton
The works of Wodehouse continue on their unique way, unmarked by the passage of time.--Kingsley Amis
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
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"
Oh, how I love Wodehouse! Ever-surprising in his repetitiousness, never failing to delight, always making us safe in his breezy world. It is paradoxical that Wodehouse should give me so much comfort when he also makes me feel how mean and shabby my life is each time I emerge from one of his novels.--Hernan Diaz "The New York Times"
