Book Excerpt: 
. . .Nor would the fact of his being out excite remark, for it was the custom of the House-Prefects to take the air for the few minutes which elapsed between the opening of the door and the final locking-up for the night.

The rest of his adventures ran too smoothly to require a detailed description. Everything succeeded excellently. The only reminiscences of his escapade were a few cuts in his coat, which went unnoticed, and the precious book of notes, to which he applied himself with such vigour in the watches of the night, with a surreptitious candle and a hamper of apples as aids to study, that, though tired next day, he managed to do quite well enough in the exam, to pass muster. And, as he had never had the least prospect of coming out top, or even in the first five, this satisfied him completely.

When Douglas Adams calls you the greatest comic writer ever, that is pretty high praise in my book, and Adams’ high opinion of P.G. Wodehouse led me to take the plunge and try his first novel. Wodehouse was truly prolific, writing nearly 100 books over the course of his seven decade career, but I de

I own a different edition, an Indian one from Jaico Publishing with truly preposterous cover art.

When I first encountered Wodehouse's school stories, I was a fan of his Jeeves & Wooster and Blandings novels (as well as of the Mulliner tales), but these books didn't draw me in, largely because of ho

While reading some of the Wodehouse books this year and also based on discussion with friends, I realised that even though I love reading Wodehouse, I haven't read much. I keep reading those few books again and again (latest favourite is Love among the Chickens)

Wodehouse's first published book, this one is definitely NOT the place to start if you are wanting to get into Plum's writing; in fact, I would say this is more geared for Wodehouse completists (such as myself). It's a lighthearted short novel about the goings-on at an English public school (the fic

This is Wodehouse's first book, a pippin of an idyll of Edwardian public school life, and one that still glows with sunshine and inconsequence, lo these hundred years. More a set of sketches than a proper tale, The Pothunters ostensibly recounts the search for a sackful of school sporting trophies (

3.5 overall. Some delightful and purely Wodehousian moments, but an awful lot of play-by-play cricket for the average American to work through. Worth a read overall, but not a book I'll likely pick up again until and unless I acquire an understanding of the finer points of what was evidently the aut

I love P. G. Wodehouse so, so much. I have never read a Wodehouse novel — and there are dozens upon dozens of those things — and not been enchanted. His use of language, his humour, his sense of place and time; he brings to life a wholly fictional, but wholly delightful, vision of upper class, money
