P. G. Wodehouse by Frances Donaldson
Are there any characters in literature more famous than Jeeves and Wooster? They feature in nearly 100 tomes, which taken together, make their creator, Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse, the most famous writer of comedy in the English language. But what of the man himself? This book covers his life from his school days at Dulwich onwards.
"Donaldson and Wodehouse go together like Boswell and Johnson, Emsworth and the Empress, and Jeeves and Wooster"(Stephen Fry.) "The definitive, beautifully composed, affectionate but absolutely judicious biography". (Los Angeles Times.) "With considerable narrative skill, she makes it rewarding to read about, as well as to read, Wodehouse". (Woodrow Wyatt, Sunday Times.)"
Frances Donaldson was an award-winning biographer. Her other books include The Marconi Scandal, Child of the Twenties, Evelyn Waugh: Portrait of a Country Neighbour, a biography of Edward VIII and a history of the Royal Opera House. She also edited Yours, Plum, a collection of Wodehouse's letters.
