P. G. Wodehouse
Wodehouse was an English-American comic writer who enjoyed enormous success for over 70 years. His works are set in Edwardian England and feature idiotic youths, feckless debutantes, redoubtable aunts, and stuffy businessmen. His most famous characters were the foppish, minor aristocrat Bertie Wooster and his unflappable valet Jeeves. Although Wodehouse was knighted shortly before his death, why did the character of Bertie cost him entry into the Order of the Companions of Honour in 1967?
