THE WORLD OF JEEVES - P G WODEHOUSE KARTONIERT ...

Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (always known as ¿Plum¿) wrote about seventy novels and some three
hundred short stories over seventy-three years. He is widely recognised as the greatest
20th-century writer of humour in the English language. Perhaps best known for the escapades of
Bertie Wooster and Jeeves  Wodehouse also created the world of Blandings Castle  home to Lord
Emsworth and his cherished pig  the Empress of Blandings. His stories include gems concerning
the irrepressible and disreputable Ukridge  Psmith  the elegant socialist  the
ever-so-slightly-unscrupulous Fifth Earl of Ickenham  better known as Uncle Fred  and those
related by Mr Mulliner  the charming raconteur of The Angler¿s Rest  and the Oldest Member at
the Golf Club. In 1936 he was awarded the Mark Twain Prize for ¿having made an outstanding and
lasting contribution to the happiness of the world¿. He was made a Doctor of Letters by Oxford
University in 1939 and in 1975  aged ninety-three  he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II. He
died shortly afterwards  on St Valentine¿s Day.
