Never DisappointsBy JaniceGSomebody's sense of humor and of irony always translate into a satisfying read. If you like British humor, you can't beat Wodehouse.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Brian TailerVery amusing0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. One of Wodehouse's very early works.By KEThe story and characters aren't as strong as they are in his later stories, but the detail of life at an English "public" school for boys is fascinating. Also, it is interesting as a Wodehouse fan to see what his writing was like before it evolved into what he was capable of in later years. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who has never read any of Wodehouse's later stories. This anthology is a thorough introduction to classic literature for those who have not yet experienced these literary masterworks. For those who have known and loved these works in the past, this is an invitation to reunite with old friends in a fresh new format. From Shakespeare s finesse to Oscar Wilde s wit, this unique collection brings together works as diverse and influential as The Pilgrim s Progress and Othello. As an anthology that invites readers to immerse themselves in the masterpieces of the literary giants, it is must-have addition to any library. "Wodehouse is the greatest comic writer ever." -Douglas Adams "Wodehouse's idyllic world can never stale. He will continue to release future generations from captivity that may be more irksome than our own."-Evelyn WaughAbout the AuthorSir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse, KBE (15 October 1881 - 14 February 1975) was a comic writer who enjoyed enormous popular success during a career of more than seventy years and continues to be widely read. Wodehouse's main canvas remained that of pre-war English upper-class society, reflecting his birth, education, and youthful writing career. An acknowledged master of English prose, Wodehouse has been admired both by contemporaries such as Hilaire Belloc, Evelyn Waugh and Rudyard Kipling and by modern writers such as Douglas Adams, Salman Rushdie and Terry Pratchett. Best known today for the Jeeves and Blandings Castle novels and short stories, Wodehouse was also a playwright and lyricist who was part author and writer of 15 plays and of 250 lyrics for some 30 musical comedies. Wodehouse is one of the best of British Humor writers! Enjoy! [Z13G4.ebook] The Pothunters By P. G. Wodehouse PDF [Z13G4.ebook] The Pothunters By P. G.

Volume 12, No. 4 Winter 1991 WCY+10 Notes from Plum Bill Claghorn writes: "At the time I found my copy of William Tell Told Again in a used book store, I had no prior indication that such a book had ever been written. It is only more recently that the name appears on any lists." The Mcllvaine bibliography says the first English edition was published November, 1904, when Plum was barely 23, and there were four undated reissues. There was one American edition, December 1904, with no reissues. It was Plum's fifth book and fourth novel. July 13.1950 Dear Mr Claghorn. ♦ Venoy you having got hold of a William Toll Told Again!

  • Index to Wooster Sauceand by The
    Index to Wooster Sauce and By The Way 1997–2020 Guide to this Index This index covers all issues of Wooster Sauce and By The Way published since The P G Wodehouse Society (UK) was founded in 1997. It does not include the special supplements that were produced as Christmas bonuses for renewing members of the Society. (These were the Kid Brady Stories (seven instalments), The Swoop (seven instalments), and the original ending of Leave It to Psmith.) It is a very general index, in that it covers authors and subjects of published articles, but not details of article contents. (For example, the author Will Cuppy (a contemporary of PGW’s) is mentioned in several articles but is only included in the index when an article is specifically about him.) The index is divided into three sections: I. Wooster Sauce and By The Way Subject Index Page 1 II. Wooster Sauce and By The Way Author Index Page 34 III. By The Way Issues in Number Order Page 52 In the two indexes, the subject or author (given in bold print) is followed by the title of the article; then, in bold, either the issue and page number, separated by a dash (for Wooster Sauce); or ‘BTW’ and its issue number, again separated by a dash. For example, 1-1 is Wooster Sauce issue 1, page 1; 20-12 is issue 20, page 12; BTW-5 is By The Way issue 5; and so on. See the table on the next page for the dates of each Wooster Sauce issue number, as well as any special supplements.

  • Novels by P G Wodehouse Appearing in Magazines
    The P G Wodehouse Society (UK) Information Sheet Number 4 Revised December 2018 Novels by P G Wodehouse appearing in Magazines Of the novels written by P G Wodehouse, the vast majority were serialised in magazines, some appearing in a single issue. The nature of the serialisation changed with time. The early novels were serialised in almost identical form to the published book, but from the mid-1930s there was an increasing tendency for the magazine serialisation to be a condensed version of the novel. In some cases, the condensed version was written first. Attention is drawn in particular to the following titles: The Prince and Betty, which in both the first UK and first US magazine appearances, was based on the UK rather than the very different US book version of the text. A Prince for Hire, which was a serialised novelette based broadly on The Prince and Betty, but completely rewritten in 1931. The Eighteen Carat Kid, which in serial form consisted only of the adventure aspects of The Little Nugget, the love interest being added to ‘flesh out’ the book. Something New, which contained a substantial scene from The Lost Lambs (the second half of Mike) which was included in the American book edition, but not in Something Fresh, the UK equivalent. Leave It To Psmith, the magazine ending of which in both the US and the UK was rewritten for book publication in both countries. Laughing Gas, which started life as a serial of novelette length, and was rewritten for book publication to more than double its original length.

  • Autumn 2004 Wodehouse in America N His New Biography of P
    The quarterly journal of The Wodehouse Society Volume 25 Number 3 Autumn 2004 Wodehouse in America n his new biography of P. G. Wodehouse, Robert IMcCrum writes: “On a strict calculation of the time Wodehouse eventually spent in the United States, and the lyrics, books, stories, plays and films he wrote there, to say nothing of his massive dollar income, he should be understood as an American and a British writer.” The biography Wodehouse: A Life will be published in the United States in November by W.W. Norton & Co., and will be reviewed in the next issue of Plum Lines. McCrum’s book presents the American side of Wodehouse’s life and career more fully than any previous work. So with the permission of W.W. Norton, we present some advance excerpts from the book concerning Plum’s long years in America. First trip Wodehouse sailed for New York on the SS St. Louis on 16 April 1904, sharing a second-class cabin with three others. He arrived in Manhattan on 25 April, staying on Fifth Avenue with a former colleague from the bank. Like many young Englishmen, before and since, he found it an intoxicating experience. To say that New York lived up to its advance billing would be the baldest of understatements. ‘Being there was like being in heaven,’ he wrote, ‘without going to all the bother and expense of dying.’ ‘This is the place to be’ Wodehouse later claimed that he did not intend to linger in America but, as in 1904, would just take a perhaps he had hoped to strike gold.

  • P. G. Wodehouse Linguist?1
    Connotations Vol. 15.1-3 (2005/2006) P. G. Wodehouse Linguist?1 BARBARA C. BOWEN One of the world’s great comic writers, “English literature’s perform- ing flea” (according to Sean O’Casey), a linguist? Surely not. In the first place, we Brits have traditionally been resistant to learning for- eign languages (on the grounds that English should be good enough for everybody); in the second place, PG received the then-standard English public-school education, which stressed Latin and Greek but certainly not any living foreign languages; in the third place the only foreign countries he visited, as far as I know, were France, Germany (through no fault of his own), and the United States, which became his home. Critics have not to my knowledge ever thought of him as a linguist; when Thelma Cazalet-Keir says “For me it is in his use of language that Mr. Wodehouse appears supremely,” she is thinking of his highly literary style and “concentration of verbal felicities.”2 But linguists are born, not made, and this article will contend that PG had a natural gift for language, both for the almost endless varia- tions on his own, and for a surprising number of foreign and pseudo- foreign tongues. He also wrote in several letters to Bill Townend that he thought of his books as stage plays, which means he was listening to his characters speaking as he wrote. In his first published book, The Pothunters (1902), we can listen to schoolboys: “That rotter, Reade, […] has been telling us that burglary chestnut of his all the morning.

    The quarterly journal of The Wodehouse Society Volume 30 Number 2 Summer 2009 See pages 16–19 for some last-minute convention news. We hope to see you in St. Paul on June 12–14! Wodehouse and the Comic Concussion by David Landman Who would these swings and parries take When he might a quietus make With a bare knuckle? —Willie “The Shaker” Shakespeare nce, when reconnecting a loose wire under the dash Oof my Hudson Hornet, I stretched out on my back the length of the front seat. Made aware that the open door was blocking traffic, I reached back to the armrest and, forgetting that it extended a good three inches beyond the plane of the door, slammed it shut. When I regained consciousness my first thought was that Stumpf, who spoke of the “falscher Schmuck und nutzloser Plunder” of feudalism, was talking through his Kaiser Bill pickelhaube. After that, I thought no more for a week as I wandered aimlessly along Slaphappy Street. A concussion is not a funny thing. Except in Wodehouse. Setting aside the sagas of professional bruisers like Kid Brady, I speak here only of the collateral havoc wreaked upon itself by the civilian population. It is remarkable how many of them are flattened and how readily they bounce up off the canvas, not much the worse for wear, in that martial arts academy known as the English country house. I do not complain. It is mostly the deserving who get their comeuppance. I remark only how smoothly the scorched-earth policy goes David Landman, fully recovered (we think) from his down thanks to the effervescence of the Wodehouse touch.

  • The PG Wodehouse Society
    The P G Wodehouse Society (UK) Information Sheet Number 1 Revised December 2018 Books by P G Wodehouse The purpose of this information sheet is to provide a comprehensive list of the books written by P G Wodehouse. There is no agreement amongst commentators or aficionados as to how many he wrote, for the reasons explained below, and The P G Wodehouse Society (UK) does not express a view on this matter. Please note that the Society’s listing does not include titles of books which have appeared since Wodehouse’s death for which the Wodehouse Trustees did not give consent for publication. In some cases, this may be because the texts, for example short stories in a new compilation, are now in the public domain in the country of publication so that consent was not sought; in other cases, the publication maybe wholly unofficial, in breach of copyright law and not necessarily in a format in which Wodehouse would recognise. Reasons why there can be many legitimate views as to the number of his books include: 1 Several books, particularly collections of short stories, which were published in the United States differed in the minutiae of their contents from the nearest equivalent collection in the United Kingdom. 2 Some books have joint authorship with another person. 3 When referring to his output of fiction, it is necessary to exclude autobiographical and similar work, and collections of essays. 4 It is not uncommon for reports in the media to double-count his output, eg by misusing the term ‘novel’ to include short story collections, and accordingly referring to ‘more than 90 (or even 100) novels and 300 short stories’, when any total number of books approaching 100 will already have to include the collections of short stories.
