"English novelist, scriptwriter and story-writer. He began with excellent school stories, then graduated to novels about types such as Psmith and Uckridge; he then discovered the world of the 'drone' Bertie Wooster and his manservant Jeeves. Wodehouse is the perfect non-serious writer, the leanedly vacuous comedian. He will, says William Trevor, be remembered when many 'of the swells with messages' are forgotten. In the Jeeves novels, and certain others, he achieved perfection of style; he wrote just for entertainment, and he meant nothing at all. The stories are indeed perfect entertainment. He has become, with the recent advantage of good television adaptations, an accepted part of life." Seymour-Smith Very good yellow cloth. Very good white pictorial DJ. Brodart Cover. Some wear, soiling, usual ex-library markings, stamps, labels. 1971, 8vo, 189pp.
