When Wodehouse wrote that he thought of his novels as musical comedies without the music, he knew what he was talking about. He still hold the record on Broadway, with lyrics for five shows running at the same time. His collaborating with Bolton and Kern helped transform the American theatre. Not surprisingly, a lot of his funniest and best-informed writing is about theatrical life, and here it is, selected and gathered together in one volume for the first time- non-fiction, such as his memoir, BRING ON THE GIRLS, poetry, a plethora of stories and extracts, and one complete novel, BARMY IN WONDERLAND.
