Hi Dean, What has happened to <a href=http://www.baggygator.com/wodehouse/default.html target=new>http://www.baggygator.com/wodehouse/default.html</a>...
For you Wodehouse lovers, the next step, if you haven't taken it already, is to read Saki, a.k.a. H.H.Munro. He's from the same era with an equally good style ...
I second that, I read munro a few years ago, my favorite story is about that cat that learned to speak human language, I think he was called tobermori or...
Your memory serves you well. The story is a Clovis one, yclept Tobermory, and the problem was the talking cat had access to all manner of embarassing gossip....
what ho!<br><br>Has any one seen the Granada Televisions series, wooster and Jeeves, I just watched the whole collections, 3 seasons, and 23 episodes, its ...
You may purchase each of the four series on VHS or each of the first three on DVD at aande.com for a better price than most other places I've seen. They (Fry ...
I am just finishing off P.G.W.'s third novel, "A Prefect's Uncle," first published in 1903. <br><br>Very fizzy stuff indeed. At twenty-two, dear Plum could ...
Greetings Plum - lovers. Lovely to be here! Here's a conundrum ...Why are so many of PG's heroes called Bill, even when they are heroines? (As in "The Old...
The reason for the many Bills in Wodehouse might be explained thus: P.G.W's most famous song lyrics were for the song "Bill" from the musical "Showboat." ...
Thanks for that hotspur. You are probably right. I did wonder whether the fact that one of Plum's best friends was Bill Townend might have been an influence....
The spectacle of a human being in agony is never an agreeable oneIt were well, therefore, to linger as briefly as possible over the description of J. ...
There is also Roderick Spode. And it seems to me there were others as well. There are some funny names in wodehouse like Pongo Twizzleton. Ah the man was a...
Has anyone in this club read P.G.W.'s "Doctor Sally?" I recieved a copy today via inter-library loan. It's a student's editon, with a quiz in the back of it,...
Your copy of Dr Sally seems about right, page wise. My 1962 Penguin finishes the story on page 121 (it starts on page 5). Yes it is short for PGW but a cracker...
Haven't read Dr. Sally, nor can I explain why there are so many so named.<br><br>What I do note about Sallys (Sallies?) is that they are almost always small ...
I think Plum creates names depending on the type of character. Sally is your pretty, sweet and innocent love interest while the goofy or domineering ones get,...
I think I know what your'e getting at but the Wodehouse heroines are much more than 'pretty sweet and innocent love interest' Dr Sally is a case in point she...
According to Richard Usborne's excellent book, "Wodehouse at Work," "Doctor Sally," first published in 1932, was adapted from a Hungarian play. This might ...
Last year for Christmas, I received from my lady love "P.G. Wodehouse in His Own Words," by Barry Day and Tony Ring (Hutchinson, London, 2001). A really lovely...
Since P.G.W. was such a great reader of thrillers (his favorite author was Patricia Wentworth) I don't think I'm taking too much of a liberty in reccomending a...
It was also filmed by Alfred Hitchcock in 1926 (silent of course) with Ivor Novello playing the part of the Lodger "http://us.imdb.com/Title?0017075" Has...
Did somebody mention Gosford Park? I have seen it, and I seem to be the only person who has - except for me the theatre was empty. Did anyone here happen to...
The only reason to go and see Gasford park is to see Stephen Fry, who played Jeeves so admirably in the TV series "Jeeves and Wooster" ... be ... that...
