Tony Ring

A jolly collection of wit and one-liners from one of our best-loved humorists

The finest and funniest writer the past century ever knew

The funniest writer ever to put words to paper

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

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

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

When it comes to humour, there is only one writer who can slay you with a mere flip of the pen. This, of course, is P.G. Wodehouse

The Wit and Wisdom of the Master - all compacted into 128 pithy pages! Tony Ring, the president of the Wodehouse Association and author of the 600,000-word Millennium Wodehouse Concordance, has drawn on his extensive knowledge and even more wonderful enthusiasm to compile an absolutely cracking anthology, which answers all our Christmas present problems in one volume. Here are not only witty epigrams we all know and love (and perhaps lots we don't!) but also longer humorous extracts which are full of wisdom. <br/>
