Wodehouse (1881-1975) is widely acknowledged as the greatest English comic writer of the 20th century. The creator of Jeeves \u0026amp; Wooster, Lord Emsworth and Blandings, Ukridge, Mr. Mulliner, the Oldest Member and the Eggs, Beans and Crumpets of the Drones Club, the consistently upbeat tone of his 100 or so books represents one of the largest-ever literary bequests to human happiness by one man. Indeed, Wodehouse was not just a writer for his time, but for all time, and in 2019, a memorial commemorating his life and work was dedicated in Westminster Abbey, London, the only one to honour an out-and-out humourist. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn this concluding volume of his groundbreaking trilogy, lifelong enthusiast Paul Kent sets out to explain the enduring, global appeal of PGW’s comic world from the U.K. to Japan via India and Russia.
