Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse KBE (15 October 1881 – 14 February 1975), known as P. G. Wodehouse, was an English author, humorist, and scriptwriter, widely regarded as one of the greatest comic writers in the English language. His literary career spanned over seventy years, during which he wrote more than ninety books, forty plays, two hundred short stories, and other writings. Wodehouse is best remembered for creating the inimitable duo of Jeeves, the clever gentleman's gentleman, and his hapless employer, Bertie Wooster, first introduced in 'The Inimitable Jeeves' (1923) and fully established as household names in 'Right Ho, Jeeves' (1934). His works are known for their expertly crafted narratives, wit, and a quintessentially British sense of humor that resonated with readers worldwide. Despite facing criticism and internment during the Second World War due to controversial broadcasts, Wodehouse's career remained prolific, and his legacy endures through his timeless characters and joyous prose. 'Right Ho, Jeeves' is a prime example of his masterful use of language and comic timing, elements that have contributed to his enduring appeal and scholarly recognition as a craftsman of English literature.
