P.G. Wodehouse saw his first article published when still at school, and went on to become the leading humour writer of the twentieth century. He created characters famous across the English-speaking world, such as Rupert Psmith, Stanley Ukridge, Uncle Fred, the inhabitants of the Drones Club, Bertie Wooster and Jeeves, and Lord Emsworth and his beloved Empress, all of whom remain as popular today as they were when they first appeared all those years ago. But behind all the brilliant metaphors that make us laugh out loud, there is a surprising background of reality. Wodehouse didn't create his stories from scratch; he used real settings and exaggerated the characteristics of people he knew. With examples of Wodehouse's unique imagery, the P.G. Wodehouse Miscellany follows the development and progress of his legendary characters, tells us where Wodehouse got his ideas from and demonstrates why his admirers included Bertrand Russell, Berthold Brecht, George Orwell, Rudyard Kipling and the Kaiser. This informative little miscellany will be a must for all fans of P.G. Wodehouse.

Charming, witty and profound, this stylish 50th anniversary hardback edition of A LIFE IN LETTERS is the perfect addition to any Wodehouse-lover's bookcase. 'The letters, gossipy in the kindliest, most amused/bemused manner, bear true witness to the wide-ranging influences on Wodehouse's' best-known novels and best-loved characters.' THE TIMES *** The definitive edition of P.G. Wodehouse's collected letters, edited with commentary by Oxford academic Sophie Ratcliffe. One of the funniest and most admired writers of the twentieth century, P. G. Wodehouse always shied away from the idea of a biography. A quiet, retiring man, he expressed himself through the written word. His letters - collected and expertly edited here - provide an illuminating biographical accompaniment to legendary comic creations such as Jeeves, Bertie Wooster, Psmith and the Empress of Blandings. Drawing on previously unpublished sources, these letters give an unrivalled insight into Wodehouse, covering his schooldays at Dulwich College, the family's financial reverses which saw his hopes of university dashed, life in New York working in musical comedy with Jerome Kern and George and Ira Gershwin, the years of fame as a novelist, and the unhappy episode in 1940 where he was interned by the Germans and later erroneously accused of broadcasting pro-Nazi propaganda.

Meet the Young Men in Spats - all members of the Drones Club, all crossed in love and all busy betting their sometimes nonexistent fortunes on unlikely outcomes - that's when they're not recovering from driving their sports cars through rather than round Marble Arch.

This excellent collection brings together Orwell's longer, major essays and a fine selection of shorter pieces. With great originality and wit Orwell unfolds his views on subjects ranging from a revaluation of Charles Dickens to the nature of Socialism, from a comic yet profound discussion of naughty seaside postcards to a spirited defence of English cooking. Displaying an almost unrivalled mastery of English plain prose, Orwell's essays created a unique literary manner from the process of thinking aloud and continue to challenge, move and entertain. The articles collected in George Orwell's Essays illuminate the life and work of one of the most individual writers of the XX century - a man who elevated political writing to an art. Essays included: - THE SPIKE - A HANGING (1931) - BOOKSHOP MEMORIES (1936) - SHOOTING AN ELEPHANT (1936) - DOWN THE MINE (1937) (FROM "THE ROAD TO WIGAN PIER") - NORTH AND SOUTH (FROM "THE ROAD TO WIGAN PIER") (1937) - SPILLING THE SPANISH BEANS (1937) - MARRAKECH (1939) - BOYS' WEEKLIES AND FRANK RICHARDS'S REPLY (1940) - CHARLES DICKENS (1940) - CHARLES READE (1940) - INSIDE THE WHALE (1940) - THE ART OF DONALD MCGILL (1941) - THE LION AND THE UNICORN: SOCIALISM AND THE ENGLISH GENIUS (1941) - WELLS, HITLER AND THE WORLD STATE (1941) - LOOKING BACK ON THE SPANISH WAR (1942) - RUDYARD KIPLING (1942) - MARK TWAIN-THE LICENSED JESTER (1943) - POETRY AND THE MICROPHONE (1943) - W B YEATS (1943) - ARTHUR KOESTLER (1944) - BENEFIT OF CLERGY: SOME NOTES ON SALVADOR DALI (1944) - RAFFLES AND MISS BLANDISH (1944) - ANTISEMITISM IN BRITAIN (1945) - FREEDOM OF THE PARK (1945) - FUTURE OF A RUINED GERMANY (1945) - IN DEFENCE OF P.
