His humorous articles were published in more than 80 magazines, including Punch, over six decades. He was also a highly successful music lyricist, once with over five musicals running on Broadway simultaneously. P.G. Wodehouse was awarded the Mark Twain Prize for 'an outstanding and lasting contribution to the happiness of the world'.Pure pleasure

If we're talking about culture that makes people happy, we have to start with the works of P.G. Wodehouse

To have one of his books in your hand is to possess by way of a pill that can relieve anxiety, rageiness, or an afternoon-long tendency towards the sour. Paper has rarely been put to better use than printing Wodehouse.
Not only the funniest English novelist who ever wrote but one of our finest stylists. His world is perfect, his writing is perfect. What more is there to be said?
P. G. Wodehouse is the gold standard of English wit.
An incomparable and timeless genius.
P. G. Wodehouse should be prescribed to treat depression. Cheaper, more effective than valium and far, far more addictive.
