Some of the most exquisite literary creations date to the fag end of the Victorian era into the Edwardian and Georgian era

Billy Bunter

The William books — *priceless

Biggles series — *priceless

Wodehouse’s entire collection of 80 books - whether Mulliners’ Tales or Lord Dynamite or Blanding’s castle or jeeves and Wooster or the Drones or even better (my favourite), the early years - the cricket/school series (Mike, Mik & Psmith, the Prefect’s uncle etc.)

Also notable: the McAuslan and the Flashman series by George McDonald Fraser - not quite Georgian, but lovely enough.

Wodehouse Lived in Remsenburg about a half hour from my house. Never read his books. Dated a girl some time in the early 70s from west Hampton who knew him. Pointed out his house whenever we drove past it.

My wife likes the Wooster-Jeeves books and TV shows staring Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry. Though the only British humor I like is Python and Fawlty Towers maybe Blackadder.

Cheers
