B: BERTIE Wooster

Ah, British humour. I always think I got lost in the world of Bertie Wooster and Jeeves and Aunt Agatha and Glossop and all the rest. In fact, I revisit them often and they never fail to leave me refreshed and in a rather rummy frame of mind!

“And so the merry party began. It was one of those jolly, happy, bread-crumbling parties where you cough twice before you speak, and then decide not to say it after all.”

  1. I've never really read any of the old British humour type things. I suppose in a way they can be funny because of how cringey there are!

  2. Oh, I love Jeeves and Wooster! About 30 years ago, I went on a major Wodehouse kick and read all his novels and stories of these two. His writing style is hilarious!

  3. I loved Agatha Christie as a young person and still have all her books - you've just inspired me to get them out again! ~Liz http://www.lizbrownleepoet.com

    1. I'm so glad. My favourite one is "the secret of chimneys."
