Although many might not recognize the name P.G. Wodehouse, they have inevitably come across his work. Wodehouse was a British humorist who wrote novels, short stories, journalism pieces, and other stuff, becoming extremely popular over a 70 year career. Today he is best known for the Jeeves and Blandings Castle novels and short stories, but he was also a playwright and lyricist who was part author and writer of 15 plays and 250 lyrics. Both the name "Jeeves" and the character of Jeeves have become a common part of the English lexicon, meaning a valet or chauffeur. It is even the inspiration behind the popular search engine Ask Jeeves.

Review "The very definition of British humor ... in suave hardcover volumes, the dust jackets as natty as the prose."
About the Author Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (P. G. Wodehouse) was an English humorist and writer best known for his Jeeves and Blandings Castle novels. Educated at boarding schools, Wodehouse turned to writing at a young age, demonstrating great skill at humorous sketches and musical lyrics. He continued to write part-time while pursuing, at the behest of his father, a career in banking, and successfully contributed numerous pieces to Punch, Vanity Fair, and The Daily Express, among other publications. In addition to his literary work, Wodehouse was incorporated into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in recognition of his collaboration with Cole Porter on Anything Goes, his lyrics to the song Bill from Show Boat, and his work on the musicals Rosalie and The Three Musketeers.
While interned along with other British citizens in Germany during the Second World War, Wodehouse made a series of radio broadcasts for which he was accused of being a collaborator; and, although later cleared of the charges, he never returned to England. His work has influenced many other writers including Evelyn Waugh, Rudyard Kipling, J. K. Rowling, and John Le Carr?. P. G. Wodehouse died in 1975 at the age of 93.
From AudioFile The plot of this amiable romance is secondary to its style. Wodehouse's masterful language makes high comedy out of situations that would be dull or slapstick in less capable hands. He invites reading aloud, but his effects are fragile, requiring a light, deft touch. Simon Vance's delivery is understated but satis-factory. He has a pleasant voice and a sympathetic feel for the material. But those who have heard the Bertie Wooster series from the BBC may be left wishing for a less restrained performance. J.N.

By Glen Engel Cox I do not regret having read all of the Wodehouse books written before this one, but I have to express my delight at finally starting to get to the books that made Wodehouse's reputation. This particular one isn't tied to any of his serieses, but shares a lot with both the Blandings castle and Bertie & Jeeves books. First off, there's Lord Dawlish, the sort of chap who is just a little too nice for his own good, the kind who always gets nipped by one and all for a fiver here or a ten-spot there. Then there's his fiancee, who's obsessed on the money deal; an eccentric wealthy old man; a couple of Americans; and a nightclub-singing Lady (as in Lord and Lady). There's money, and the lack of it, that seems to be a separate character content to flirt with all the rest of the cast. A little plot line regarding golf, keeping bees, transatlantic trips, people who may or may not be who they are, a will that may or may not be the operative one, people mistaken for themselves and others, and true love. My god, the formula is so easy, yet as any one knows who has tried a hand at this stuff, just because you've got the recipe, it doesn't mean your souffle rises in the same way.This is a good one to recommend to people who have never read Wodehouse before, because it is compact and self-contained. It's been said that laughter is the best medicine--if so, then Wodehouse is a wonder drug.

Appleton and Company, and then in the U.K. on October 4, 1917 by Methuen & Co., so it is a fairly early Wodehouse story. Although this is better than most of his early stories, it is not as good as some of his writing that would come later. Those who know Wodehouse will find themselves in familiar territory.The main character of this story is Lord Dawlish, who has a title but not much money, a fact of which his fiancée, Claire Fenwick, reminds him repeatedly. He suddenly finds that he has been left a fortune by a man he hardly knew, and being the honorable man he is he feels he needs to restore at least some of this money to its rightful heirs. This takes him to America, where Claire also finds herself when a friend of hers writes her asking to visit.To attempt to cover a Wodehouse plot completely would take much too long and I could never do it justice. As one would expect there are several interesting characters, and lots of plot twists. In the end, as with all of his stories, love wins out, and the reader enjoys the ride all the way.This edition is another in "The Collector's Wodehouse" series being published by The Overlook Press in the U.S. (in the U.K. it is "The Everyman's Wodehouse" series being published by Everyman's Library).
9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Easy Smiles By Richard Liedholm Uneasy Money is an early non-series Wodehouse novel, written before the glory days of the 20s, 30s and 40s, so it is unlikely to be considered as one of the very best of his books. I agree. However, it is book I enjoyed reading and was happy to observe that many of the standard Wodehouse traits are all present: his beautiful use of language, his carefully worked out plots, the moments of pure lunacy, and his delightful characters.Let's just quickly take, as an example, the two heroes (lovers) of the story, Bill and Elizabeth. What a pair! Kind. Well-mannered. And good golfers too! Do people like Bill and Elizabeth really exist? I suppose the argument can be made that there is a little of Bill and Elizabeth in all of us, but I wish I were like Bill more; I love how he is so doggone optimistic. No matter how the cards fall, Bill is ready to face things with a determined hardening of the jaw. You just have to love that sort of thing.There really isn't a time in our world where there are not troubles somewhere, so that means that there will always be a need for Wodehouse novels. You'll likely start with Jeeves and Bertie and end up vacationing at Blandings Castle, but don't forget the dozens of non-series books, including Uneasy Money. Maybe money and love and contentment comes hard for the characters of this story, but the smiles for you, the reader, will certainly come easy.
