description: Who but P.G. Wodehouse could have extracted high comedy from the most noble and ancient game of golf? And who else could have combined this comedy with a real appreciation of the game, drawn from personal experience? Wodehouse's brilliant but human brand of humor is perfectly suited to these stories of love, rivalry, revenge, and fulfillment on the links. While the Oldest Member sits inside the clubhouse quoting Marcus Aurelius on patience and wisdom, outside on the green the strongest human passions burn. All human life is here, from Sandy McHoots, the cocky professional, to shy Ramsden Waters, whose only consolation is golf. Even golf-haters will not be able to resists stories which perfectly combine physical farce and verbal with a gallery of unforgettable characters. About the Author P G. Wodehouse (1881-1975) was born and educated in England, and spent much of his life on Long Island, becoming an American citizen in 1955. In a literary career spanning more than seventy years, he published over ninety books, twenty film scripts, and collaborated on more than thirty plays and musical comedies. The Overlook Press is pleased to feed their obsession by returning his funniest books to print in hardcover "Collector's Editions": Heavy Weather, Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit, Mating Season, Laughing Gas, Joy in the Morning, The Clicking of Cuthbert, Lord Emsworth and Others, and more.
