Many consider him the most brilliant comic writer of the twentieth century. He wrote ninety novels and story collections, and among his immortal characters are Jeeves, Psmith, and the Empress of Blandings (who is, of course, a pig). He had an extraordinary Broadway career, working with Guy Bolton and Jerome Kern, and even dared to rewrite Cole Porter's Anything Goes for the London stage. This biography chronicles the achievements and shadows of a gilded life.--From publisher description.
