19th September 2014

I have just begun my 10th P G Wodehouse book in a row, Ukridge, having just finished Money For Nothing. 

Over the years, I must have read most of his published works.

There is little I can add to the superlatives already laid at the feet of this man: 'genius', 'funniest English novelist who ever wrote', 'stylist', 'sunlit perfection', 'a bask in warmth and splendour'.

Time after time I have turned to Wodehouse when feeling low - as I feel now after the Scottish Referendum result - knowing that in a short time I will feel a lot better.

Try him out sometime - I promise you, a smile will play around your lips in no time.
