Interesting to see the dazzling variety of covers of the Jeeves novels in my Kindle library.

What's weird is that they change from time to time as the books' covers get updated in the Kindle store. Imagine the books on your bookshelves at home doing that!

A game of yarn chicken but not a serious one. The pattern is Jeeves (as in Jeeves and Wooster) and despite the seeming complexity of the pattern, it is easy to memorize. Yarn is the sturdy and likely vintage Kroy. @knitting @fiberarts

Do we have any other PG Wodehouse fans on @bookstodon? I love his work, it’s so funny and cheeky and joyful all at once, and was the perfect prescription for anyone feeling down during the pandemic.

My favourite book of his is The Code of the Woosters, one of the Jeeves and Wooster series. There’s something marvellous about the intricate, interconnected plot elements - there’s a bundle of things going on at once, including various complicated relationships, jealousy, a compromising notebook, misunderstandings over the accidental ‘theft’ of an umbrella, and the actually planned theft of an ugly silver cow creamer.

On top of that, Wodehouse was unusually political by throwing into this 1938 novel a hilarious character based on the fascist movements of the era: Roderick Spode, a ‘human gorilla’ who leads a group of wannabe fascists called the Black Shorts. It’s great stuff.

In the course of enjoying Wodehouse’s work I’ve met many Wodehouse fans around the world. When I visited Tokyo a few years ago I was delighted to be presented with a copy of The Code of the Woosters in Japanese by Tamaki Morimura (see the photo below), who translates PGW’s books into that language. When it came to public notice that the previous Empress of Japan was a great Wodehouse reader, her translations had a big bump in sales! Much deserved.
