Carry On, Jeeves

To have one of his books in your hand is to possess by way of a pill that can relieve anxiety, rageiness, or an afternoon-long tendency towards the sour. Paper has rarely been put to better use than printing Wodehouse.

Caitlin Moran

Not only the funniest English novelist who ever wrote but one of our finest stylists. His world is perfect, his writing is perfect. What more is there to be said?

Susan Hill

An incomparable and timeless genius.

Kate Mosse

P. G. Wodehouse is the gold standard of English wit.

Christopher Hitchens

P. G. Wodehouse should be prescribed to treat depression. Cheaper, more effective than valium and far, far more addictive.

Olivia Williams

P.G. Wodehouse remains the greatest chronicler of a certain kind of Englishness, that no one else has ever captured quite so sharply or with quite so much wit and affection.

Julian Fellowes

Wodehouse is a comic master.

David Walliams

For as long as I'm immersed in a P. G. Wodehouse book, it's possible to keep the real world at bay and live in a far, far nicer, funnier one where happy endings are the order of the day.

Marian Keyes

I'm a huge fan. Wodehouse writes proper jokes.

Jennifer Saunders

To dive into a Wodehouse novel is to swim in some of the most elegantly turned phrases in the English language.
