P. G. Wodehouse, a biography

1st ed.

by

There are not many characters in literature more famous or cherished than Jeeves and Bertie Wooster. They feature in nearly one hundred tomes, which taken together, make their creator, Sir Pelham Greville Wodehouse, among the most eminent and best-loved writers of comedy in the English language. But what of the man himself? Frances Donaldson, who first met Wodehouse in 1921, was given unique access to his most important private papers. From his blissful school days and his love affair with Hollywood to his time as a prisoner of war and his final years in America, Donaldson's definitive biography paints a luminous and affectionate portrait of the man known to his friends as Plum. - Publisher.
