P.G. Wodehouse (1881-1975) fue un prolífico escritor británico, maestro del humor, famoso por crear personajes icónicos como Jeeves y Bertie Wooster, y por sus novelas ambientadas en la época eduardiana, ambientadas en lugares como el Castillo de Blandings, además de ser guionista de musicales de Broadway. Su vida, marcada por un exilio en EE. UU. tras ser acusado (injustamente, según una investigación del MI5) de colaborar con los nazis durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial mientras estuvo prisionero, terminó con un nombramiento como caballero, consolidando su legado como uno de los grandes humoristas del siglo.
