I’ve never read anything by PG Wodehouse, but now I’m going to have to.

Oh, you must! PG Wodehouse has such a way with words. His Jeeves series is very funny. Read the first short chapter where Jeeves and Bertie Wooster connect, ‘Jeeves Takes Charge’. It will have you laughing right away.

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.
