It's dangerous to use the word genius to describe a writer, but I'll risk it with him

For as long as I'm immersed in a P.G. Wodehouse book, it's possible to keep the real world at bay and live in a far, far nicer, funnier one where happy endings are the order of the day

Wodehouse always lifts your spirits, no matter how high they happen to be already

The incomparable and timeless genius - perfect for readers of all ages, shapes and sizes!

Not only the funniest English novelist who ever wrote but one of our finest stylists

P.G. Wodehouse remains the greatest chronicler of a certain kind of Englishness, that no one else has ever captured quite so sharply, or with quite as much wit and affection

A genius ... Elusive, delicate but lasting

Witty and effortlessly fluid. His books are laugh-out-loud funny

The Wodehouse wit should be registered at Police HQ as a chemical weapon

The funniest writer ever to put words to paper

The greatest comic writer ever

P.G. Wodehouse wrote the best English comic novels of the century

Sublime comic genius

You don't analyse such sunlit perfection, you just bask in its warmth and splendour

To pick up a Wodehouse novel is to find oneself in the presence of genius - no writer has ever given me so much pure enjoyment

Compulsory reading for anyone who has a pig, an aunt - or a sense of humour!
