About the author

Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse KBE (1881–1975), commonly known as P. G. Wodehouse, was an English writer and humorist, revered for his wit, masterful command of the English language, and unparalleled capacity for comedic narrative. His literary career spanned more than seventy years, during which he penned close to a hundred books, including novels and collections of short stories, as well as plays, musical lyrics, and journalism. Wodehouse's early works were chiefly school stories, but he soon found his niche in comic fiction, creating several iconic characters such as the affable aristocrat Bertie Wooster and his sagacious valet Jeeves. The Jeeves series alone cemented Wodehouse's place in the pantheon of English literature, praised for its ingenious metaphors and similes, a practice that has come to be known as 'Wodehousean' wit (Jasen, 1974). His sprawling body of work, which includes 'The P. G. WODEHOUSE Ultimate Collection,' exemplifies the author's signature style of combining farcical situations, a quintessentially British upper-class setting, and a delightful play on language. Wodehouse's contribution to English literature has been acknowledged by numerous literary figures and he continues to be read widely, his books serving as a testament to the enduring appeal of sophisticated humor and light-hearted storytelling.
