About the Author

P. G. Wodehouse was born in Guildford in 1881. He was a prolific writer who, in Jeeves and Wooster, created two of the most popular characters in the 20th century. Wodehouse was created a Knight of the British Empire in 1975 and said in a BBC interview that he had no ambitions left now that he had been knighted and there was a waxwork of him in Madame Tussauds. He died that same year, aged 93, on St Valentine's Day.
