As the winter gloom cast by the pandemic lifts up gradually, the air is redolent with hope and sunshine once again. Valentine’s Day resonated with whispers of sweet nothings and slings of Cupid piercing young hearts. Realising the need for the world to do with some extra cheer, St Peter decided to unlock the gates of heaven and send back PG Wodehouse, popularly called ‘Plum’, to his writing desk to continue penning rib-tickling masterpieces of humour.
Wodehouse, who died on February 14, 1975, on Valentine’s Day at the age of 91, had never, in fact, left the hearts of millions of his readers. He lived on with his timeless humour and satires of the Edwardian world.
