Audiobook-P. G. Wodehouse Sir P. G. Wodehouse Wodehouse in 1904 (aged 23). Born October 15, 1881 Guildford, Surrey, UK Died February 14 1975 (aged 93) Southampton, NY, United States Pen name Henry William-Jones P Brooke-Haven Pelham Grenville Melrose Grainger J Walker Williams C P West Occupation novelist, playwright, lyricist Nationality British United States (1955, aged 74) Writing period 1902--1975 Genres comedy, romantic comedy Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse, KBE (15 October 1881 -- 14 February 1975) (IPA: /ˈwʊdhaʊs/) was an English comic novelist, who enjoyed enormous popular success during a career of more than seventy years and continues to be widely read. Despite the political and social upheavals that occurred during his life, much of which was spent in France and the United States, Wodehouse's main canvas remained that of prewar English upper-class society, reflecting his birth, education, and youthful writing career. An acknowledged master of English prose, Wodehouse has been admired both by contemporaries such as Hilaire Belloc, Evelyn Waugh and Rudyard Kipling and by modern writers such as Douglas Adams, Salman Rushdie and Terry Pratchett. Sean O'Casey famously called him "English literature's performing flea", a description that Wodehouse used as the title of a collection of his letters to a friend, Bill Townend. Best known today for the Jeeves and Blandings Castle novels and short stories, Wodehouse was also a talented playwright and lyricist who was part author and writer of fifteen plays and of 250 lyrics for some thirty musical comedies. He worked with Cole Porter on the musical Anything Goes (1934) and frequently collaborated with Jerome Kern and Guy Bolton. He wrote the lyrics for the hit song "Bill" in Kern's Show Boat (1927), wrote the lyrics for the Gershwin - Romberg musical Rosalie (1928), and collaborated with Rudolf Friml on a musical version of The Three Musketeers (1928).

P.G. Wodehouse AUDIOBOOK 'Heavy Weather ' Classic AudioBooks from CSAWORD presents... HEAVY WEATHER by P.G. WODEHOUSE read by MARTIN JARVIS "Absolutely spiffing" Sue Baker, Publishing News Galahad Threepwood is causing scandal again...this time by deciding to NOT publish his potentially humiliating high-society memoirs. His decision causes rifts in the ranks at castle Blandings and all involved split into three camps: those who want the book suppressed, those who want it published, and those, who for some reason or another, that have been sent to steal it. A very British restrained chaos inevitably ensues, and a listener can expect a whole host of the usual: confusion, blackmail, robbery, and of course, the odd bit of pig-kidnap. The Empress had better watch her back... Veteran Wodehouse reader Martin Jarvis never fails to please, with marvellous characterisation and an obvious respect and passion for the author and his works.

P.G. Wodehouse - audiobook -A PELICAN AT BLANDINGS A PELICAN AT BLANDINGS (4CDs) by P.G. Wodehouse read by MARTIN JARVIS Audio Book fromCSAWORD Classic range The setting is Blandings Castle, home of the eccentric Clarence 9th Earl of Emsworth. It is summer time and much to the irritation of his Lordship, Lady Constance, his sister and Alaric, Duke of Dunstable bearing a picture of a nude he had recently purchased in London, are descending on Blandings Castle. Lord Emsworth soon realises that he needs an ally to lend moral support so he invites his brother Sir Galahad Threepwood, a member of the Pelican Club. Various other characters such as Americans Wilbur Trout and Vanessa Polk, young loves, Linda Gilpin and John Halliday, Howard Chesney, faithful retainer, Beach and others all add to the fun at Blandings that Summer. The plot revolves around the Duke of Dunstable's painting that everyone seems to want for very different reasons - Lord Emsworth because it resembles his prize pig and Wilie Trout because it looks just like his ex-wife! Fortunately, Sir Galahad is on hand to sort things out. First published in 1969, it is one of P.G. Wodehouse's later novels.

Stealing Will Self's Pig It is not often an author is driven by circumstances to steal another author's pig, but recent scandalous events (see http://books.guardian.co.uk/news/articles/0,,2282158,00.html ) forced my hand. So, if you were at Hay-on-Wye and wondered why, at the Wodehouse Prize ceremony for Will Self, "the traditional pig could only appear in video footage displayed in the marquee", here is your explanation. It is to be hoped that the organisers of the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize will give in to my very reasonable demands and re-award the Prize to Alan Bennett. Otherwise, I'm afraid they will get their pig back sausage by sausage. Harsh, I know, but when you mess with six comic novelists, somebody's going to get hurt. -Julian Gough http://www.juliangough.com/journal/2008/5/27/stealing-will-selfs-pig.html London, Tipperary, Berlin "The novel reinvented while you wait."

"Look for the Silver Lining" (Connee Boswell) Connee Boswell at the peak of her career in this upbeat and positive-minded number from Jerome Kern and Buddy DeSylva's 1920 show, "Sally". LOOK FOR THE SILVER LINING Look for the silver lining When e'er a cloud appears in the blue. Remember some where the sun is shining, And so the right thing to do, Is make it shine for you. A heart, full of joy and gladness, Will always banish sadness and strife. So always look for the silver lining, And try to find the sunny side of life. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ More from Wiki on the show, "Sally", in which the song first appeared: Sally is a musical comedy with music by Jerome Kern, lyrics by Clifford Grey and book by Guy Bolton (inspired by the 19th century show, Sally in our Alley), with additional lyrics by Buddy De Sylva, Anne Caldwell and P. G. Wodehouse. It was originally produced by Florenz Ziegfeld, opening on December 21, 1920 at the New Amsterdam Theatre on Broadway. It ran for 570 performances, which was one of the longest runs on Broadway up to that time. By the time it closed in 1924, it would prove to be among the top five money makers of the 1920s. The show was designed as the musical comedy debut of Marilyn Miller, a 22-year old Ziegfeld Follies girl. Miller would continue to be a star on Broadway until her untimely death in 1936. Kern, Bolton, and Wodehouse had collaborated on a number of musical comedies at the Princess Theatre. The story combined the innocence of these earlier "Princess musicals" with the lavishness of the "Follies" formula. The score recycles some material from previous Kern shows, including "Look for the Silver Lining" and "Whip-poor-will" (with lyrics by De Sylva, from the flop "Zip Goes a Million"); "The Lorelei" (lyrics by Anne Caldwell); and "You Can't Keep a Good Girl Down" and "The Church 'Round the Comer" (lyrics by Wodehouse). Grey supplied the lyrics for the few new songs in the score. At the request of Ziegfeld, Victor Herbert was engaged to write the music to "The Butterfly Ballet" in Act Three. The plot hinges on a mistaken-identity: Sally, a waif, is a dishwasher at the Alley Inn. She poses as a famous foreign ballerina and rises to fame (and finds love) through joining the Ziegfeld Follies. There is a rags to riches story, a ballet as a centrepiece, and a wedding as a finale. A 1929 film version of Sally was made, with a screenplay was by Waldemar Young. Tags: "look for the silver lining" boswell kern deylva 1920 |
