Well done. I'm a huge Wodehouse fan myself, I keep reading and rereading his stuff and I can't get enough of it. There's one that stands apart from all the rest, being non-fiction and autobiographic, based on a series of letters to a friend. It's called 'Performing Flea' and it is Wodehouse on Wodehouse and at his best.

My favourite was always Uncle Fred in springtime. It’s a Blandings story. Uncle Fred is a sort of god of chaos who keeps increasing the stakes to complicate his already complicated situation while also terrorizing the “bright young things” who inhabit his world but lack his bravado. It’s quite fun.

Thank you for this video on a brilliant and unique comedic author. For any of your viewers who don't know Wodehouse I would recommend a few of my own personal favorites: Very Good, Jeeves; Thank you, Jeeves; Right ho, Jeeves; and The Code of the Woosters in the Jeeves series. Also Summer Lightning and Uncle Fred in the Springtime as well as stand-alone novels The Luck of the Bodkins and Laughing Gas. Anything with "Mulliner" in the title is a guaranteed good read too!

I really like your videos, just found your channel ♥️ I don't know if you know these books, but my absolute favourites from Wodehouse are the novels The Girl on the Boat, The Small Bachelor, Sam the Sudden, the Jeeves series (which you've mentioned) and the short stories collection Young Men in Spats, I highly recommend those 👌🏻

I especially like Young Men in Spats. The idle rich vegetating in the Drones Club smoking room while they exchange stories about their escapades. What's more, this book first introduces us to that chaotic hell-raiser Frederick, Earl of Ickenham: "That was Pongo Twistleton. He's all broken up about his Uncle Fred." "Dead?" "No such luck. Coming up to London again tomorrow..."
