The Man Upstairs

Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (Engl. Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse, October 15, 1881 — February 14, 1975) was a popular English writer of humor, playwright, and comedy writer. Throughout his career, the works of Wodehouse, the “king of comedy,” enjoyed enormous success, and many celebrities admired him—from Kipling to Tolkien. The phrase “Elementary, my dear Watson” (“Elementary, my dear Watson”), which A. Conan Doyle never used, is attributed to him; it later appeared in films about Sherlock Holmes. In this form, it was used for the first time in a Wodehouse novel.
