Leonora – or "Snorky" – as she soon became, was far more precious to Wodehouse than any of his biological relations. Wodehouse and Ethel had little money when they married, but the letters record them being all the happier for their makeshift existence together.

The talks were comic and apolitical, but his broadcasting over enemy radio prompted anger and strident controversy in Britain, and a threat of prosecution. Wodehouse never returned to England. From 1947 until his death he lived in the US; he took US citizenship in 1955 while retaining his British one.

P. G. Stands for the first and middle names of the authors Patrick Geoffrey O'Neil (P. G. O'Neil), and Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (P. G. Wodehouse). for example, the famous author H. G. Wells has two letters that stand in for his first name Herbert and his middle name George (Herbert George Wells).

Wodehouse wrote more than seventy novels and 200 short stories, creating numerous much-loved characters - the inimitable Jeeves and Wooster, Lord Emsworth and his beloved Empress of Blandings, Mr Mulliner, Ukridge, and Psmith.
