PG Wodehouse first editions

Browse our fine collection of PG Wodehouse First Editions and rare books including Jeeves, The Prince and Betty and The Intrusion of Jimmy.

 

The English born P.G. Wodehouse, in full Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse, was a comic novelist, short-story writer, lyricist, and playwright, and known as the creator of Jeeves, the supreme “gentleman’s gentleman" that satirised the English aristocracy through vivid, far-fetched imagery and in slang.  Whatever the publication dates of his books, Wodehouse’s English social atmosphere is of the late Edwardian era.
