P. G. Wodehouse, in His Own Words FROM THE PUBLISHER
P. G. Wodehouse In His Own Words is a collection of excerpts from the master's own writings (in a literary career spanning more than seventy years, Wodehouse published more than ninety books, twenty film scripts, and collaborated on more than thirty plays and musical comedies) that reveals a wonderfully entertaining gloss on Wodehouse's own life story. This unorthodox biography is arranged in chapters that move from childhood, to school years, to the various preoccupations of the grown man. A linking narrative supplied by Wodehouse aficionado and lifelong fan Barry Day, with the help of Tony Ring, the President of the International Wodehouse Society, ties all the material together.
