P.G. Wodehouse was an English author widely regarded as the greatest comic writer in the English language, creator of Jeeves and Wooster and the world of Blandings Castle.
Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse produced, over a career spanning more than seventy years, a vast body of supremely crafted comic fiction renowned for its dazzling prose, perfect comic timing, and sunlit, benevolent world.
His most beloved creations are the amiable aristocrat Bertie Wooster and his peerless valet Jeeves, but he also gave readers the genial chaos of Blandings Castle and a host of golf stories and musical-comedy lyrics. Admirers from Evelyn Waugh to Douglas Adams have hailed him as a master of the comic sentence.
Wodehouse is celebrated as a comic genius whose flawless, joyous escapism continues to delight readers across the world.

Bertie Wooster decides to handle matters himself for once, without Jeeves. He will sort out Gussie Fink-Nottle's love life and Tuppy Glossop's engagement without the butler's assistance. The resulting catastrophe — culminating in a prize-giving speech at Market Snodsbury Grammar School — is the funniest extended sequence in English comic fiction.
