Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (Oct 15, 1881 — Feb 14, 1975) — a popular English humorist writer, playwright, and comedy writer. Throughout his career, the works of the “king of comedy” Wodehouse enjoyed tremendous success; 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 credited to him; it later appeared in films about Sherlock Holmes. In this form, it was used for the first time in a Wodehouse novel.
