The Wit and Wisdom of PG Wodehouse appears in the Daily Express on 22 September 2008


Many of you will know of the book The Wit and Wisdom of PG Wodehouse, compiled and edited by Tony Ring and published by Hutchinson in 2007. This wonderful compilation of quotes is now published in paperback by Arrow Books on 2nd October 2008.


On 22nd September 2008 the Daily Express ran a full-page article on this. In a similar vein to the Sunday Telegraph article mentioned below, here is part of the introductory wording to a host of quotes from the book:


In these uncertain times, we all need cheering up – so to start your week with a laugh or a wry smile here are some of the very best of Wodehouse's witticisms.


There was also wording from Robert McCrum, who says PG Wodehouse:


promises a release from everyday cares into a paradise of innocent comic mayhem ... the perusal of a few pages rarely fails to banish the demons of darkness and despair.


Alongside the many PGW quips were also photographs of Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry in character as Jeeves and Wooster and also a photograph of Plum himself.
