Description

In 1981, Norman Murphy caused a stir in literary circles when he published 'In Search of Blandings', which demonstrated that many of P.G. Wodehouse's legendary characters and settings were based on fact. In these two volumes Murphy reveals his findings across a far wider field: the world that Wodehouse lived in.
