Relation Conducive To Books What Ho! The best of P.G. Wodehouse

Published to mark the 25th anniversary of PG Wodehouse's death, this is the first major new selection of his work to be published for a generation. This anthology of stories, novel-extracts, working drafts, articles, letters and poems gives a fresh angle on the twentieth century's greatest humourist. In his introduction, Stephen Fry writes: "What a very, very lucky person you are. Spread out before you are the finest and funniest words from the finest and funniest writer the past century ever knew... Without Wodehouse I am not sure that I would be a tenth of what I am today... He taught me something about good nature. It IS enough to be benign, to be gentle, to be funny, to be kind."

P.G. Wodehouse wrote like a fiend, and his particular specialty was soft, intelligent, wry humour. Whenever I read Wodehouse's work, I find myself smiling and smiling -- always makes me feel good. Gentle stories in a language that is beautifully wrought.

This is not a book for Wodehouse beginners (For I regret to say that such people exist). What that poor, downtrodden section of society that has never savoured the master's fare wants (apart from a sound beating) is a full meal. I recommend a light Uncle Fred to start with, followed by a sumptuous Jeeves and Wooster, with a nice Blandings to wash the whole thing down. Once this has been completed, a marked change will come over the unwashed beginner. His spine will straighten. His collar will

While this may have been created in collaboration with several Wodehouse societies, I'm afraid it's not as good as some other Wodehouse anthologies, particularly The Most of P. G. Wodehouse. The inclusion of the autobiographical material was a mistake, ironically for all of the reasons stated in the essay "Personal Details", which is included in the book. I can't understand why they didn't just include more stories, unless they were consciously trying to prove his point.And that brings me to the

This was my first taste of Wodehouse, and throughout the book, I kept thinking I needed some context. Wooster/Jeeves and the Blandings Castle stories seem to be the most popular, but I wasn't L-O-L-ing as Stephen Fry suggested in the good introduction. The first story about Uncle Fred was great, and so were the golf stories. The Drones club stories were what left me in splits.

This is a wonderful overview of the Master's works chosen by the international Wodehouse societies with a lovingly written introduction by Stephen Fry. Aside from the selections of comic escapades, my personal favorites are the excerpts from letters and essays about Hollywood and various writers. In his usual style, he wrote about his own endeavors: " All we authors have our limitations and I have long recognized mine. Hot stuff though I am in many respects, I have never been able to master the

Despite the advancing years I had up until receiving this book for Christmas never read any Wodehouse, though I had been read excerpts in my younger years. Of course, the problem with Wodehouse is that being such a prolific author, it's difficult to know where to start. And since most Wodehouse readers have their favourites, asking for advice on what to read is a bit like asking which football team you should support.All of which is precisely why this compendium fits the bill nicely. There's a
