PELHAM GRENVILLE WODEHOUSE, (1881–1975), a native of Guildford, England, was probably the greatest writer of comedy in the twentieth century. With each passing year, his work continues to grow in popularity. Jeeves, the obsequious but competent valet, and feather brained Bertie Wooster are his two most famous creations. Wodehouse was a prolific author, and he also wrote plays and lyrics for musical comedies. His stories are generally characterized by intricate plots dealing with human foibles and complex, romantic entanglements. They usually end with an absurd anticlimax. It is a delightful world he has created for us.
