HTML: Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse, popularly known by his pen name, P.G. Wodehouse, is one of the most beloved writers of English prose. He is known for his uncanny ability to find and expose the hilarity of even the most quotidian settings and situations. This comprehensive collection of his shorter fiction and non-fiction works is a great introduction to Wodehouse for new readers, or a comforting volume for confirmed fans to dip into. .Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

“When Papa Swore in Hindustani” was my favourite of the four stories. The “Papa” in question gets worked up easily by his daughter’s pet dog, which tends to cause havoc in the garden.
“Tom, Dick, and Harry” features two young friends in love with the same lady. They decide to compete in a cricket match in a field full of cows to determine who should step back to let the other propose to the lady.
“Jeeves Takes Charge” features Bertie vying for the affections of Florence Creye, who has “a fine profile”, while certain aspects of her personality are not so appealing.
The intimidating Florence Creye appears again in “Disentangling Old Duggie”. Here she interferes with her brothers’ love lives, not approving of their choice of mate, and she hassles their friend – Reggie – to do her dirty work for her.
Quite a number of entertaining and funny moments occur in all of these tales. ( )
