P. G. Wodehouse
I don't need to introduce you to the wide and prolific world of P. G. Wodehouse? To Young Men in Spats? And Uncle Mulliner? To Psmith (the "p" is silent)? To Blandings Castle with absent-minded Lord Emsworth, Uncle Galahad Threepwood, Lady Constance, Beach the Butler, the young people running about, the crooks, the private detectives, and Empress of Blandings, the prize-winning pig?
Or surely to Jeeves and Wooster, the Drones Club, Sir Roderick Spode and his awful secret, Aunt Agatha who "kills cats and chews broken bottles with her teeth" and Aunt Dahlia with her famous cook Anatole, to Tuppy, Angela, Gussie Fink-Nottle, Catsmeat Potter-Pirbright, Bingo Little who is always in love, young Thos., and Madeline Basset, the "girl whom God forgot."
Better than ibuprofen, with no restrictions about how often you can take a dose, Wodehouse is the healing humorist of the twentieth century. I started reading him when I was eleven to my grandmother.
And this very clever series is a hoot, after you have read the books. Or some of them--Wodehouse was prolific. Here's the great theme song.
