The much awaited Plum Pie exhibition at Heywood Hill book shop in Curzon Street, London W1, was opened on Monday 21st September 2009 by Henry Blofeld OBE. (The exhibition ran until 16th October 2009.) Henry's opening of the exhibition featured his imagined Wodehouse eleven cricket team based on characters from various of Plum's books. We will be publishing this Wodehouse eleven shortly!
