Author: Bruce, Robert

Condition: New

In this literary guide, we chart the permanently sun-dappled world of PG Wodehouse, the writer known to devotees as the Master. The large-format map charts locations both fictional and real: Blandings Castle, Brinkley Court, the Drones Club, Wodehouses childhood home in Guilford (as normal as rice pudding), prep school at Dulwich College, and the bank where he endured a brief, unhappy period working as the most inefficient clerk whose trouser seat ever polished a stool.In his works, PG Wodehouse avoided using real-life locations, yet close reading reveals clues. Making use of all available scholarship, and a lifetime absorbed by the world Wodehouse created, Blandings And Beyond is your passport to what Evelyn Waugh called Mr Wodehouses idyllic world.In this literary guide, we chart the permanently sun-dappled world of PG Wodehouse, the writer known to devotees as the Master.
