P. G. Wodehouse (1881-1975) was born in Surrey, educated in London, and spent much of his life in Southampton, Long Island, becoming an American citizen in 1955. In a literary career spanning more than seventy years, he published more than ninety books, twenty film scripts, and collaborated on more than thirty plays and musical comedies.
"[Blandings] is an entire world unto itself, and, one sense,
Wodehouse pours into it his deepest feelings for England."--
"Stephen Fry, actor and author"
"The gardens of Blandings Castle are that original garden from
which we are all exiled."-- "Evelyn Waugh, English author,
journalist, and reviewer"
"Wodehouse has been narrated hilariously by a number of readers in
the past few years, and John Wells now takes his place among them.
He narrates the body of this work in measured British tones, but
when he voices a character, he becomes another man (or woman). His
aged Lord Emsworth, for example, is breathtakingly dotty, sounding
perfectly vacuous and dazedly confused by everything. Even the
women come across well, from Lady Constance, to the young love
interests. The story is another Blandings Castle tale of
impersonations, misunderstandings and upper-crust hauteur. With
Wells' skill together and Wodehouse's humor--this audiobook is
irresistible."-- "AudioFile"
