Rare first edition of Wodehouse's eleventh book and who's first book, The Pothunters, was published only seven year's earlier. Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (1881-1975), English comic novelist, best known for the Jeeves and Wooster series, also worked with Cole Porter on the 1930's musical Anything Goes. Many consider Wodehouse second only to Charles Dickens in "fecundity of character invention" - see Wikipedia Encyclopedia; BM 27: 386 (1004); McIlvaine A11.
