PG Wodehouse
Probably best known as the author of the 'Jeeves and Wooster' stories, Wodehouse was a prolific and brilliant writer. Other series evolved around a cast of stock characters which included Eukridge, Psmith, The Oldest Member and Lord Emsworth.
PG also wrote libretti for Broadway musicals and, in something of a career limiting move, propaganda messages for the Germans in the Second Little Unpleasantness.
PG, or 'Plum' as he was fondly known, is high up there in the Gentlemen's pantheon.
He am, as they say, de Man.
