Summer Moonshine

Just finished reading 'Summer Moonshine' by P G Wodehouse, one of my favorite authors. I have always felt that he is God's gift to all of us. This book is hilarious. If you have not read it already, grab it, is my advice. See what Lynne Truss has to say about good old Plum:
"You should read Wodehouse when you're well and when you're poorly; when you're travelling, and when you're not; when you're feeling clever, and when you're feeling utterly dim. Wodehouse always lifts your spirits...."

There is a Wodehouse Society in UK which is a treasure trove of information on the author. Check it out at:

Wodehouse has been criticized by many who think that the world that he depicts in his novels no longer exists and that it is no longer relevant. However, I think that as long as human beings continue to possess a sense of humor, and can appreciate a laugh, a giggle, or a chuckle, dear old Plum would always be relevant, and I sincerely hope that means forever!

Best wishes,
