Man Upstairs

Nineteen tales of romantic entanglements from one of British literature's comedic stars, the author of the Jeeves novels. First published in 1914, these short stories by P. G. Wodehouse deal with matters of the heart in all their complicated glory. From the struggling artist and his lovely downstairs neighbor in "e;The Man Upstairs"e; to a playwright's romantic rescues in "e;Deep Waters"e; to a matrimonial sweepstakes in "e;The Good Angel,"e; Wodehouse captures the circumstances both mundane and mysterious, contrived and spontaneous that bring two strangers together in love. Praise for P. G. Wodehouse "e;Wodehouse's idyllic world can never stale. He will continue to release future generations from captivity that may be more irksome than our own. He has made a world for us to live in and delight in."e; Evelyn Waugh "e;He exhausts superlatives."e; Stephen Fry "e;Pure word music."e; Douglas Adams
