" Funny Punny and a quick respite of humor "
" Been meaning to read Podehouse, especially because Hitch is such a fan. Finally found this collection of short stories at used bookstore. T'was funny. Will read some more soon. "
" A collection of short stories mainly about the Drones Club and its resulting characters. Enjoyed these a lot, though nothing can compare to Wooster and Jeeves. "
" Entertaining collection of short stories. Mix of Mulliner, Oldest Member, Freddie Widgeon and Bingo Little yarns. "
" These start to get a little formulaic, but they are still classics. I love the ones starring Bingo and his wife who never finds out about his gambling. "
" I just really like the British TV show. Is that so bad? I found these short stories fun and entertaining. "
" Classic Wodehouse. Almost, at times, a little too much of it, though. Too much of a good thing is still too much once in a while. "
" It's good, but not as good as Wodehouse usually is. Similar plots at times. "
Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (1881–1975) was an English humorist who wrote novels, short stories, plays, poems, song lyrics, and numerous pieces of journalism. He was highly popular throughout a career that lasted more than seventy years, and his many writings continue to be widely read. He is best known for his novels and short stories of Bertie Wooster and his manservant Jeeves and for his settings of English upper-class society of the pre– and post–World War I era. He lived in several countries before settling in the United States after World War II. During the 1920s, he collaborated with Broadway legends like Cole Porter and George Gershwin on musicals and, in the 1930s, expanded his repertoire by writing for motion pictures. He was honored with a knighthood in 1975.
Jonathan Cecil (1939–2011) was a vastly experienced actor, appearing at Shakespeare’s Globe as well as in such West End productions as The Importance of Being Earnest, The Seagull, and The Bed before Yesterday. He toured in The Incomparable Max, Twelfth Night, and An Ideal Husband, while among his considerable television and film appearances were The Rector’s Wife, Just William, Murder Most Horrid, and As You Like It.
