  • Westminster Abbey South Quire Aisle
    Westminster Abbey South Quire Aisle The Dedication of a Memorial Stone to P G Wodehouse Friday 20th September 2019 6.15 pm HISTORICAL NOTE It is no bad thing to be remembered for cheering people up. As Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (1881–1975) has it in his novel Something Fresh, the gift of humour is twice blessed, both by those who give and those who receive: ‘As we grow older and realize more clearly the limitations of human happiness, we come to see that the only real and abiding pleasure in life is to give pleasure to other people.’ Wodehouse dedicated almost 75 years of his professional life to doing just that, arguably better—and certainly with greater application—than any other writer before or since. For he never deviated from the path of that ambition, no matter what life threw at him. If, as he once wrote, “the object of all good literature is to purge the soul of its petty troubles”, the consistently upbeat tone of his 100 or so books must represent one of the largest-ever literary bequests to human happiness by one man. This has made Wodehouse one of the few humourists we can rely on to increase the number of hours of sunshine in the day, helping us to joke unhappiness and seriousness back down to their proper size simply by basking in the warmth of his unique comic world. And that’s before we get round to mentioning his 300 or so song lyrics, countless newspaper articles, poems, and stage plays. The 1998 edition of the Oxford English Dictionary cited over 1,600 quotations from Wodehouse, second only to Shakespeare.

    SOMETHING FRESH PDF, EPUB, EBOOK P. G. Wodehouse | 272 pages | 03 Mar 2005 | Everyman | 9781841591377 | English | London, United Kingdom Something Fresh PDF Book September 5, at AM. Wodehouse isn't as political as Wilde, he isn't quite as scathing in his criticism of society, and he isn't as bitingly funny, but that makes him no less entertaining. Tela editorial algo deslucida. Soft cover. I love Wodehouse but I suppose they do tend to run together a bit. This was Lord Emsworth's sister Lady Ann Warblington, who is mentioned in Something Fresh as subject to headaches and largely confined to her room, never to reappear in a Blandings novel again. It's very kind of you to keep offering me your dead mouse; but honestly, I have no use for it. Then we have Lord Emsworth, a gruff yet lovable but extremely forgetful man, who is liable to steal the silverware from a restaurant as most people would walk off with a cheap ballpoint pen. Details if other :. He thought highly of his mouse and it was beyond him to realize that I did not want it. Throw in all sorts of millionaires and mix-ups, maids and butlers, a loveable, old, potty Earl, and the beginning of the crime wave at Blandings, and you have the makings of either a rollicking musical comedy or a long series of delightful novels. There is even a Wooster lurking about. Tales of St. Of the Blandings Castle characters of note, the Efficient Baxter, secretary to Lord Emsworth more interested in gardening and furniture painting than in his numerous guests , is the one who pushes the story forward, acts as a self appointed crime investigator and is the victim of most of the jokes and pranks, a role that would later be taken by various village policemen.

  • The Early Days of the Wodehouse Society by Len Lawson Past TWS President Len Lawson Gave This Presentation at the June 2009 Convention in St
    The quarterly journal of The Wodehouse Society Volume 31 Number 1 Spring 2010 The Early Days of The Wodehouse Society by Len Lawson Past TWS President Len Lawson gave this presentation at the June 2009 convention in St. Paul. We’re grateful that Len has helped preserve this historical information and has shared it with us so entertainingly. he Wodehouse Society was founded by the gentleman you see Tpictured here, Captain William “Bill” W. Blood, USAF Retired. Not the best photo, but as you read in the caption, “The brilliance of his personality causes a lighting problem for photographers . .” The society was born with the meeting of Bill Blood and Franklin Axe (date unknown, probably 1979 or 1980). They met at an auction house (location unknown, probably near Doylestown, Pennsylvania) that often handled books. Frank’s wife Edna was looking for Wodehouse books for him when she ran into Bill Blood, also looking for Wodehouse books. Bill asked Edna to bring Frank along next time so they could talk about Wodehouse. She did and they did. Frank and Bill had a great time talking about Wodehouse. Bill asked if Frank would like to meet like this once a month, perhaps with more PGW devotees. Frank said, “Of course.” Somewhere along the way Bill suggested that they start a Wodehouse society, in fact, The Wodehouse Society. Since Bill agreed to do all the work, Frank said it was a great idea. Bill started by writing letters everywhere and placing a few advertisements. He wrote a letter to the editor of the New Hope Gazette, published a few miles from Bill Blood’s Doylestown in eastern Pennsylvania.
