In addition to his literary work, Wodehouse was incorporated into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in recognition of his collaboration with Cole Porter on Anything Goes, his lyrics to the song Bill from Show Boat, and his work on the musicals Rosalie and The Three Musketeers.While interned along with other British citizens in Germany during the Second World War, Wodehouse made a series of radio broadcasts for which he was accused of being a collaborator; and, although
Wodehouse's comic masterpieces, but he's not the worst and is assuredly the most active, with at least 25 Wodehouse titles under his belt. He reads with a dry British accent, low-key and almost drawling. Author Wodehouse began publishing books in 1902 and died in 1975 after having been named a Knight of the British Empire. This is solid entertainment, recommended for public libraries.?Don Wismer, Cary Memorial Lib, Wayne, Me.Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc. The present book first appeared in 1921 at a time when Wodehouse was at least as well known for his collaborative work in America as a playwright.

This book tells the story of an impoverished, embarrassment-prone Drone Archibald "Archie" Moffam (pronounced "Moom"), and his difficult relationship with his art-collecting, hotel-owning millionaire father-in-law Daniel Brewster. Archie's attempts to ingratiate himself with Brewster only get him further into trouble.
Wodehouse medium well Lezlie This isn't Wodehouse at his best, so it's not genius, but it's still brilliant. Sentimental and predictable, it could be compared to a well done s'more. Not fine dining: gooey, sticky, messy, and satisfyingly guaranteed to score a smile.. The first sitcom What a humorous indictment against turn of the century America. The narration was spot on overly serious. The characters seemed to be unable to take anything seriously. Very ironic.. Fruity !!! Don't You Know Captain Jack Sparrow Even though some of the stories I have read in other Wodehouse editions I still thoroughly enjoy the antics of Bertie and Jeeves.
