What do Laura Ingalls Wilder and P. G. Wodehouse have in common?
P. G. Wodehouse Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse {'1': ", '2': ", '3': ", '4': "} ( ; 15 October 188114 February 1975) was an English author and one of the most widely read humorists of the 20th century. Born in Guildford, the son of a British magistrate based in Hong Kong, Wodehouse spent happy teenage years at Dulwich College, to which he remained devoted all his life. After leaving school he was employed by a bank but disliked the work and turned to writing in his spare time. His early novels were mostly school stories, but he later switched to comic fiction, creating several regular characters who became familiar to the public over the years. They include the jolly gentleman of leisure Bertie Wooster and his sagacious valet, Jeeves; the immaculate and loquacious Psmith; Lord Emsworth and the Blandings Castle set; the Oldest Member, with stories about golf; and Mr Mulliner, with tall tales on subjects ranging from bibulous bishops to megalomaniac movie moguls.
Percy Jeeves Percy Jeeves (5 March 1888 – 22 July 1916) was a first-class cricketer from England, playing 50 matches for Warwickshire County Cricket Club from 1912 to 1914. He joined the British Army in the First World War and was killed in action in 1916. P. G. Wodehouse named his character Jeeves after him.
