P.G. Wodehouse was born in 1881. He is the creator of Jeeves, Blandings Castle, Psmith, Ukridge, Uncle Fred and Mr Mulliner stories and novels.To the majority of the passengers aboard the RMS Atlantic the voyage to America was just a pleasant interlude in life’s hectic rush.

Doran, New York.

“[Blandings] is an entire world unto itself and, one senses, Wodehouse pours into it his deepest feelings for England.” —Stephen Fry The final Uncle Fred novel marks his return to Blandings Castle to relieve Lord Emsworth’s woes: a nagging secretary, prankster Church Lads, and a plot to thieve his prize-winning sow. Uncle Fred must serve up his brand of sweetness and light to ensure that everything turns out very capital indeed.

THE conditions of life in New York are so different from those of London that a story of this kind calls for a little explanation. There are several million inhabitants of New York. Not all of them eke out a precarious livelihood by murdering one another, but there is a definite section of the population which murders--not casually, on the spur of the moment, but on definitely commercial lines at so many dollars per murder. The gangs" of New York exist in fact. I have not invented them. Most of the incidents in this story are based on actual happenings. The Rosenthal case, where four men, headed by a genial individual calling himself "Gyp the Blood" shot a fellow-citizen in cold blood in a spot as public and fashionable as Piccadilly Circus and escaped in a motor-car, made such a stir a few years ago that the noise of it was heard all over the world and not, as is generally the case with the doings of the gangs, in New York only. Rosenthal cases on a smaller and less sensational scale are frequent occurrences on Manhattan Island. It was the prominence of the victim rather than the unusual nature of the occurrence that excited the New York press. Most gang victims get a quarter of a column in small type..."

Much in the whimsical tradition of Wodehouse''s comedies of errors, ''The Girl on the Boat'' is a sparkling gem that effervesces with genteel wit and the intricate plotting Wodehouse is renowned for. The transatlantic jaunt aboard a White Star liner serves as the stage for a farcical ballet of misunderstandings, romance, and social satire. Wodehouse''s prose prances with the light-hearted verve and effervescence customary to his literary style, while simultaneously evoking the Roaring Twenties backdrop against which his tableau of the upper crust unfolds. This quintessential Wodehouse novel is not just a humorous escapade but also a remarkable exhibit of his ability to weave the fluidity of the English language into a tapestry of comic genius. P. G. Wodehouse, knighted for his services to literature, consistently displayed a masterful grasp of satire and the human condition through his prolific body of work. ''The Girl on the Boat'' is but one of his delightful narratives that reflect his experiences and observations of British and American society, seamlessly intertwining them with his top-notch humor. This narrative may very well have been inspired by Wodehouse''s own transatlantic travels and his keen eye for the quirks and foibles of the people he encountered during his journeys between his homes in the UK and the US. Replete with the blithe spirit that permeates Wodehouse''s prose, ''The Girl on the Boat'' comes highly recommended for readers seeking a light-hearted retreat into a bygone era of witty repartee and social mores. It remains a testament to Wodehouse''s enduring appeal as a storyteller and his unparalleled ability to transport readers onto the rollicking decks of comedy, where laughter is the only necessary luggage. For aficionados of classic humor and newcomers alike, this book promises a delightful voyage of chuckles and glee.

Here are a dozen stories to delight all Wodehouse addicts: A crooning tenor is attempting to captivate the affections of the Rev. Rupert Bingham''s fiance, Lord Emsworth is striving to remove a pumpkin-shaped blot on the family escutcheon, the Hon. Freddie Threepwood is making a last-ditch attempt to convert Lady Alcester to the beneficial quality of Donaldson''s Dog-Joy, and in the bar-parlor of the Anglers'' Rest, Mr. Mulliner fascinates everyone with the secret history of old Hollywood.

Blandings Castle lacks its usual balm for the Earl of Emsworth, as his stern sister Lady Constance Keeble is once more in residence. The Duke of Dunstable is also infesting the place again, along with the standard quota of American millionaires, romantic youths, con artists, imposters and so on. With a painting of reclining nude at the centre of numerous intrigues, Gally''s genius is once again required to sort things out.

"P. G. Wodehouse wrote the best English comic novels of the century." —Sebastian Faulks Bertram Wooster''s interminable banjolele playing has driven Jeeves, his otherwise steadfast gentleman''s gentleman, to give notice. The foppish aristocrat cannot survive for long without his Shakespeare-quoting and problem-solving valet, however, and after a narrowly escaped forced marriage, a cottage fire, and a great butter theft, the celebrated literary odd couple are happy to return to the way things were.
