Letters
Yours, Plum
‘You don’t analyse such sunlit
PERFECTION
you just bask in its warmth and splendour’
Stephen Fry
‘Wodehouse is the
GREATEST
comic writer’
Douglas Adams
‘SUBLIME
comic genius … light as a feather, but fabulous’
Ben Elton
‘The
FUNNIEST
writer ever to put words on paper’
Hugh Laurie
‘P.G. Wodehouse wrote
THE BEST
english comic novels of the century’
Sebastian Faulks
‘WITTY
and effortlessly fluid. His books are laugh-out-loud funny’
Arabella Weir
‘THE HEAD
of my profession’
Hilaire Belloc
‘Wodehouse was quite simply
THE BEE’S KNEES.
And then some’
Joseph Connolly
‘Mr Wodehouse’s
IDYLLIC WORLD CAN NEVER STALE.
He will continue to release future generations from captivity that may be more irksome than our own. He has made a world for us to live in and delight in’
Evelyn Waugh
‘THE ULTIMATE IN COMFORT READING
because nothing bad ever happens in P.G. Wodehouse land. Or even if it does, it’s always sorted out by the end of the book. For as long as I’m immersed in a P.G. Wodehouse book, it’s possible to keep the real world at bay and live in a far, far nicer, funnier one where happy endings are the order of the day’
Marian Keyes
‘You should read Wodehouse when you’re well and when you’re poorly; when you’re travelling, and when you’re not; when you’re feeling clever, and when you’re feeling utterly dim. Wodehouse
ALWAYS LIFTS YOUR SPIRITS,
no matter how high they happen to be already’
Lynne Truss
‘P. G. Wodehouse remains the greatest chronicler of
A CERTAIN KIND OF ENGLISHNESS,
that no one else has ever captured quite so sharply, or with quite as much wit and affection’
Julian Fellowes
‘Not only the funniest English novelist who ever wrote but one of our finest stylists. His world is PERFECT, his stories are PERFECT, his writing is PERFECT. What more is there to be said?’
Susan Hill
‘One of my (few) proud boasts is that I once spent a day interviewing P. G. Wodehouse at his home in America. He was exactly as I’d expected: a lovely, modest man. He could have walked out of one of his own novels. It’s dangerous to use the word
GENIUS
to describe a writer, but I’ll risk it with him’
John Humphrys
‘The
INCOMPARABLE AND TIMELESS
genius – perfect for readers of all ages, shapes and sizes!’
Kate Mosse
‘COMPULSORY READING
for anyone who has a pig, an aunt – or a sense of humour!’
Lindsey Davis
‘A genius …
ELUSIVE, DELICATE BUT LASTING.
He created such a credible world that, sadly, I suppose, never really existed but what a delight it always is to enter it and the temptation to linger there is sometimes almost overwhelming’
Alan Ayckbourn
