Wodehouse (1881-1975) was perhaps the most widely acclaimed British humorist of the 20th century. Throughout his career, he brilliantly examined the complex & idiosyncratic nature of English upper-crust society w/ hilarious insight & wit. The works in this volume provide a wonderful introduction to Wodehouse's work & his unique talent for joining fantastic plots w/ authentic emotion. In 'The Code of the Woosters', Wodehouse's most famous duo, Bertie Wooster & his unflappable valet Jeeves, risks all to steal a cream jug. 'Uncle Fred in the Springtime', part of the famous 'Blandings Castle' series, follows Uncle Fred as he attempts to ruin the Duke of Blandings while he is preoccupied w/ his favorite pig. Fourteen stories feature some of Wodehouse's most memorable characters, & 3 autobiographical pieces provide a revealing look into Wodehouse's life. W/ his gift for hilarity & his ever-human tone, Wodehouse & his work have never felt more lively. This superb edition also features a new introduction by John Mortimer. * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: P.G.
