Product Information

Psmith in the City - by P. G. Wodehouse - BRITISH COMEDY CLASSICS - Rupert Psmith (or Ronald Eustace Psmith, as he is called in the last of the four books in which he appears) is a recurring fictional character in several vels by British comic writer P. G. Wodehouse, being one of Wodehouse's best-loved characters. The P in his surname is silent ( as in pshrimp in his own words) and was added by himself, in order to distinguish him from other Smiths. A member of the Drones Club, this mocle-sporting Old Etonian is something of a dandy, a fluent and witty speaker, and has a remarkable ability to pass through the most amazing adventures unruffled. Wodehouse said that he based Psmith on Rupert D'Oyly Carte (1876-1948), the son of the Gilbert and Sullivan impresario Richard D'Oyly Carte, as he put it the only thing in my literary career which was handed to me on a silver plate with watercress around it. Carte was a school acquaintance of a cousin of Wodehouse at Winchester College, according to an introduction to Leave it to Psmith. Rupert's daughter, Bridget D'Oyly Carte, however, believed that the Wykehamist schoolboy described to Wodehouse was t her father but his elder brother Lucas. Lucas was also at Winchester.
