# P. Wodehouse

## Biography

Pelham Grenville Wodehouse, born in Guildford, England, in 1881, became one of the 20th century's most beloved humorists. After attending Dulwich College and a brief stint at a bank, he pursued his passion for writing, contributing to various periodicals before becoming a full-time author. Wodehouse was incredibly prolific, producing over ninety books, forty plays, and numerous short stories during his seven-decade career. He is best remembered for his iconic characters, including the intellectually challenged Bertie Wooster and his brilliant valet Jeeves, as well as the eccentric inhabitants of Blandings Castle.

Wodehouse spent significant periods living in both the United States and France. During World War II, his internment by the Germans and subsequent radio broadcasts caused controversy in Britain. Despite this, his literary output continued to delight readers with its intricate plots, witty dialogue, and charmingly antiquated English social settings. Wodehouse received a long-overdue knighthood in 1975, shortly before his death in February of that year, cementing his legacy as a master of comic fiction.
