P.G. Wodehouse wrote the book "The Adventures of Sally". The protagonist of the story is Sally Nicholas, a young American heiress who must support herself after her father loses his fortune. In order to reside with her brother Fillmore, who is married to a snobby socialite called Angela, Sally goes to England. When she gets involved in a love triangle with Fillmore's friend, the poor artist Ginger Kemp, and the affluent playboy Wally Mason, Sally quickly finds herself caught up in the intricate social dynamics of English high society. Sally must battle with her brother's clever business partner, the exuberant Uncle Donald, as she navigates the perilous seas of love and money. The story is a fascinating journey through the world of the British upper class, written with Wodehouse's usual wit and humor and full of misidentifications, amusing misunderstandings, and surprising narrative twists. The humorous and enjoyable book "The Adventures of Sally" displays Wodehouse's special gift for comedy storytelling. The book is still regarded as a masterpiece in the "Wodehouse canon" because of its universal themes of love, wealth, and class.

P. G. Wodehouse

Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (always known as ‘Plum’) wrote more than ninety novels and some three hundred short stories over 73 years. He is widely recognised as the greatest 20th-century writer of humour in the English language.

Perhaps best known for the escapades of Bertie Wooster and Jeeves, Wodehouse also created the world of Blandings Castle, home to Lord Emsworth and his cherished pig, the Empress of Blandings. His stories include gems concerning the irrepressible and disreputable Ukridge; Psmith, the elegant socialist; the ever-so-slightly-unscrupulous Fifth Earl of Ickenham, better known as Uncle Fred; and those related by Mr Mulliner, the charming raconteur of The Angler’s Rest, and the Oldest Member at the Golf Club.

In 1936 he was awarded the Mark Twain Prize for ‘having made an outstanding and lasting contribution to the happiness of the world’. He was made a Doctor of Letters by Oxford University in 1939 and in 1975, aged 93, he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II. He died shortly afterwards, on St Valentine’s Day.
