Bertie is hailed by his Aunt Agatha to a hotel in France where he learns she has found for him the perfect wife. Rather.

Besides his numerous humorous novels, P.G. Wodehouse was a lyricist, a playwright, a columnist, and a writer of screenplays. His first published book, The Pothunters, began in serialized installments in Public School Magazine while Wodehouse was also working as a regular contributor to London's The Globe Newspaper. His next successful novel was entitled Mike, and included the introduction of his Psmith character. In the time between those two successful novels, Wodehouse worked for a number of theater troupes collaborating on musical comedy stage productions. It was during this period that he met Jerome Kern, and the two collaborated on several projects, including a song called Mr. Chamberlain about British politician Joseph Chamberlain which (according to Wodehouse biographer David A. Jasen) was briefly the most popular song in London. He spent much of his early writing career bouncing between London and New York writing for such publications as The Strand and The Saturday Evening Post. He remained in New York for the duration of the First World War where his poor eyesight kept him from military conscription. Wodehouse and Kern teamed up with another playwright, Guy Bolton, and the trio had a string of successful musical plays to their credit. Soon Hollywood came calling; but even as he worked as a contract writer for MGM, he continued publishing novels. For all his success as a writer in various fields, it will forever be those novels, most notably the Jeeves novels, for which P.G. Wodehouse will be remembered.

Bertie has agreed to help his pal Bingo Little find matrimonial bliss by getting Little the Elder to agree to the union. What ho!

​Born during the height of the British colonial period, P.G. Wodehouse spent the first two years of his life the son of a magistrate in Hong Kong where he was raised along with his two older brothers by a Chinese nurse. At the age of two, he returned to England where the boys were raised by nannies as their parents returned to Hong Kong. At the age of six he began his matriculation in a series of boarding schools which would later inform his writing as he spoofed this aspect of the British education system in several of his stories. Wodehouse never really got to know his parents, as they remained in Asia as he summered and spent holidays with one or another of his sizable collection of aunts and uncles. This too, would inform his writing, most notably in the case of his character, Bertie Wooster's aunts Dahlia, Agatha, and others. He was the author of nearly 100 novels, numerous short stories, songs, plays, and articles.

In my best affected posh British accent, I bring you the legendary Jeeves and Wooster.

​Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse was born in Guildford, Surrey in England on October 15, 1881. He spent the first two years of his life in Hong Kong where his father was a magistrate. At two-years of age, he and his brothers were returned to England and were placed in the care of Nannies on the maternal grandparent's estate while their parents returned to China. Until the age of 18, Wodehouse was sent away to various boarding schools and spent holidays with any of his numerous aunts or uncles, several of whom were clergy. After school, Wodehouse began to write, and within two years had published some 80 articles (some serious, some humerous) in a variety of magazines. He wrote for the theater as both a collaborator and a lyricist, but he is best known for his prolific output of comedic novels, and for creating memorable characters, such as Psmith, Mulliner, Blandings and of course, Bertram Wooster and his valet, Jeeves. He married a widow, Ethel May Wayman, in 1914, and adopted her daughter. He passed away on Valentine's Day of 1975 at the age of 93.
