P.G. Wodehouse, often called "Plum", was a British author known for his comic novels and short stories. He was born to British parents in Hong Kong and spent much of his early childhood between boarding schools in England, seeing his family very little. Wodehouse was knighted late in life and established an award for comic writing in his honor before his death at age 93. He married Ethel Wayman in 1914 and gained a stepdaughter. Some of his most famous works included The Man Upstairs, The Clicking of Cuthbert, and Uncle Dynamite.
