- I do! And I'm certainly glad to find someone else who thinks the same way.
- Wodehouse fans seem to be hard enough to come by as it is, let alone ones who
- have heard of Blandings, Mr. Mulliner, Psmith et al. Wodehouse was an
- excellent writer, and those who never discover his other sagas are missing out.
-
- I nearly gave up on Wodehouse after exhausting the Jeeves short stories,
- because frankly I found the Jeeves and Bertie novels a bit much to take (it
- gets tiring to _always_ have to think down to Bertie's level). However, I
- was given a collection of Wodehouse short stories (_The Most of P.G.
- Wodehouse_ - highly recommended) that included Ukridge stories, golf stories,
- Blandings Castle... I was hooked.
-
- So here's hoping that other Wodehouse fans also see fit to expand their
- horizons! You'll never regret it, I promise. :)
