P. G. Wodehouse

Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (1881-1975) was an English author. Though he was named after his godfather, the author was not a fan of his name and more commonly went by P.G Wodehouse. Known for his comedic work, Wodehouse created reoccurring characters that became a beloved staple of his literature. Though most of his work was set in London, Wodehouse also spent a fair amount of time in the United States. Much of his work was converted into an “American” version, and he wrote a series of Broadway musicals that helped lead to the development of the American musical. P.G Wodehouse’s eclectic and prolific canon of work both in Europe and America developed him to be one of the most widely read humorists of the 20th century.

What an illogical story. Though I like Wodehouse but this story has no real substance to it.

A satisfying mystery story with an inventive ending! Definitely a nice way to while away an hour.

3.5*
An interesting collection of short stories - I had read the 2 Jeeves stories before but the rest were new to me. I especially liked the 2 Reggie Pepper stories: "Concealed Art" and "The Test Case".

Wodehouse always nice, even in minor stories.
