Oh, I envy you two! Reading PG Wodehouse for the first time!
Enjoy!
Hugh Laurie was perfect as Bertie Wooster, exactly as I had always envisioned Bertie. I didn’t think that Stephen Fry was quite right as Jeeves.
Catchy theme song, though.
I read the first story I could find by Wodhouse, it was very dry humor but I liked it a lot.
bump for later.
In my 24 years at freerepublic, this is the first Plum article I’ve seen posted!
Nice to meet you fellow Wodehouse fans!
I’m always mind boggled by Plums creativity. Not only the Bertie & Jeeves series and Blandings castle saga, but also Mulliners tales, Uxbridge, Uncle Fred dynamite, Mike & Psmith, and of course the school stories from the start of his career!
You must!!! I would recommend the Inimitable Jeeves.
My utter favourites are Blanding castle (Gussie’s speech!) And the Code of the Woosters.
I’ve read the Code of the Woosters at least 20 times and I still laugh out loud and thoroughly enjoy myself reading it.
Reading Wodehouse is like tucking yourself in a comfy armchair in front of a warm fire with an aromatic cup of hit chocolate and marshmallows on the table next to you.
The lark’s on the wing;
The snail’s on the thorn:
God’s in his heaven—
All’s right with the world!
Hope you enjoy many more.

I love how Freddie and Galahad are protective of Emsworth.

I Am Going To My Room !
I found the Blandings TV series appalling.
Bertie and Wooster was quite, quite good - not perfect, but rather ok
