This Valentine’s Day will mark the 40th anniversary of P.G. Wodehouse’s death — a fitting date to commemorate the great romantic-comedy writer.
Last February, Plumtopia marked the 39th anniversary by hosting a February theme of ‘the Great Romances of P.G. Wodehouse’. If you missed it last year, we had some wonderful contributions from various Wodehouse lovers:
Lord Emsworth and the Girl Friend (by Ken Clevenger)
Piggy, Maudie and A Seasoned Romance and Bertie Wooster Needs Your Opinion both by the Inimitable Ashokbhatia
Tuppy Glossop’s One True Love – by Fiction Fan
And my own contributions: When Plum created Eve and The romances of Bingo Little: Mabel.
A good time was had by all, but this merely scratches the surface of Wodehouse’s romantic world, so I’m returning to the theme again this February. If you would like join in by sharing a few words on your favourite Wodehouse romances, I would be delighted to post them, reblog or link to them here.

Thanks for the honour, Honoria!
This year also, yours truly would endeavor to come up with a post or two. After all, what could be a better way to salute Plum and his endearing legacy?!

My favourite Wodehouse romance is the love between James Rodman and William in ‘Honeysuckle Cottage’, with its glorious climactic moment of recognition:
‘His eyes were aglow with chumminess and affection; and placing his forefeet on James’s chest, he licked him three times on the face in rapid succession. The scales seemed to fall from James’s eyes. For the first time he saw William as he really was, the authentic type of dog that saves his master from a frightful peril. A wave of emotion swept over him.’

By happy chance, I had a copy of Honeysuckle Cottage in my bag yesterday when George posted. I read it again on the commute home from work — what a story!
