- About The Author
- One of the most popular humorists of the 20th century was P. G. Wodehouse, an English author who lived from 15 October 1881 to 14 February 1975. He created characters like the dim-witted Bertie Wooster and his sage valet, Jeeves, the spotless and talkative Psmith, Lord Emsworth and the Blandings Castle set, the Oldest Member, who told golf stories, and Mr. Mulliner, who told tall tales about everything from bibulous bishops to egotistical movie moguls. Wodehouse, who was the third child of a British magistrate stationed in Hong Kong and was born in Guildford, enjoyed his teenage years at Dulwich College, where he remained committed his entire life. He worked at a bank after finishing school, but he didn't enjoy it and started writing in his spare time. Most of his early works were stories about schools; nevertheless, he eventually turned to comedic fiction. Although Wodehouse spent a large portion of his life in the US and utilized New York and Hollywood as locations for some of his novels and short tales, the majority of his literature is set in his native United Kingdom. His foolish admissions of studio inefficiency and excess in a 1931 interview sparked a scandal.
