P. G. Wodehouse

**Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse**, KBE (15.10. 1881 – 14.2. 1975) () bio je britanski humoristički pisac koji uživao enorman uspjeh više od sedamdeset godina. Wodehouse se smatrao majstorom engleske proze, koga su cijenili suvremenici Hilaire Belloc, Evelyn Waugh i Rudyard Kipling ali i današnji pisci kao Douglas Adams, Salman Rushdie, Christopher Hitchens i Terry Pratchett. Sean O'Casey ga je nazvao "buhom - izvošačem engleske književnosti", za koju je sam Wodehouse rekao da "misli da je kompliment", i koju je iskoristio kao naziv zbirke svojih pisama prijatelju Billu Townendu.

Danas je najpoznatiji kao autor priča i romana o Jeevesu i Blandings Castleu, ali je također bio nadaren dramatičar i libretist koji je napisao 15 drama i 250 tekstova pjesama korištenih u preko 30 muzičkih komedija. Surađivao je s Coleom Porterom na mjuziklu *[[Anything Goes]]* isto kao is Jeromeom Kernom i Guyem Bolton. Napisao je tekst za hit-pjesmu "Bill" u *[[Show Boat]]u* te surađivao s Rudolphom Frimlom u muzičkoj verziji *[[The Three Musketeers (musical)|Tri mušketira]]*.
