Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (1881-1975) charmed 20th-century readers with his delightful tales recounting the innocent bunglings of his ever-endearing characters, most famously his aristocratic gentleman Bertie Wooster and his clever and cunning manservant Jeeves. This is his biography.

New Fans and Old Hands Will Both Take To This PGW Intro,
By Gord Wilson "alivingdog.com" (Bellingham, WA USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE)
This review is from: P.G.Wodehouse (Literary Lives) (Paperback)
Those new to PGW can find the going tough; you literally can't see the forest for the trees (well not literally). This brief (159 page)oversize intro in the Thames and Hudson Literary Lives series is drenched in beautiful b&w illustrations and peppered with lively prose. The best part, though, is the brief bibliography, which enables one to wade through the various editions and cross reference English and American titles, so you don't buy the same book under two different names. Rather than bog down his biography, Connolly has kept just the good bits in this once over lightly tour of PGW's life and letters, which surely numbers among the best of the books on PGW.
