Trade ReviewEach time you read another Blandings story, the sublime nature of that world is such as to make you gasp * Stephen Fry *
It's dangerous to use the word genius to describe a writer, but I'll risk it with him * John Humphrys *
A genius ... Elusive, delicate but lasting * Alan Ayckbourn *
Not only the funniest English novelist who ever wrote but one of our finest stylists * Susan Hill *
For as long as I'm immersed in a P.G. Wodehouse book, it's possible to keep the real world at bay and live in a far, far nicer, funnier one where happy endings are the order of the day * Marian Keyes *
