About the author:
P. G. Wodehouse was born in Guildford, England, in 1881 and educated at Dulwich College. After working for the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank for two years, he left to earn his living as a journalist and storywriter, writing the ‘By the Way’ column in the old London Globe. He also contributed a series of school stories to a magazine for boys, The Captain, in one of which Psmith made his first appearance. Wodehouse visited the United States in 1904 and again in 1909. when he sold two short stories to Cosmopolitan and Collier’s and decided to remain in America. In 1914 he sold a serial to The Saturday Evening Post, and for the next twenty-five years almost all his books appeared first in this magazine. With Jerome Kern, whom he had met in England, and Guy Bolton, Wodehouse worked on musicals for the Princess Theater starting in 1915. He subsequently wrote some sixteen plays, both by himself and with Bolton, and the lyrics of eighteen musical comedies with such composers as Victor Herbert, George Gershwin, Sigmund Romberg, and Rudolf Friml. Wodehouse married in 1914 and became a United States citizen in 1956. He wrote over ninety books, and his work has won worldwide acclaim, being translated into many languages. The London Times hailed him as ‘a comic genius recognized in his lifetime as a classic and an old master of farce.’ P. G. Wodehouse said: ‘I believe there are two ways of writing novels. One is mine, making a sort of musical comedy without music and ignoring real life altogether; the other is going right deep down into life and not caring a damn.’ He was created a Knight of the British Empire in the New Year’s Honours List in 1975. In a B.B.C. interview he said that he had no ambitions left now that he had been knighted and there was a waxwork of him in Madame Tussaud’s. He died on St. Valentine’s Day in 1975 at the age of ninety-three.
