Pigs Have Wings

Pigs Have Wings by P.G. Wodehouse
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Did the title inspire Pink Floyd’s Animals?
P G Wodehouse is guaranteed to raise a smile in one’s darkest moments – a form of ‘comfort reading.’ His scintillating prose and whacky humour is still as fresh as when I first read his books more than four decades ago.

For an author Jerry Vail was rather nice-looking, most authors, as is widely known, resembling in appearance the more degraded types of fish, unless they look like birds, when they could pass as vultures and no questions asked.

Many extracts will be politically incorrect today, but for high quality writing, Wodehouse is nonpareil.
