Praise for Globish: "Robert McCrum argues, brilliantly and provocatively, that Englandrs"s greatest contribution to the world is English. The empire may be gone. But Globish explains why the language still rules."-Malcolm Gladwell Praise for P. G. Wodehouse: A Life : "For as long as P.G. Wodehouse is read, this will be the seminal work of reference, the indispensable vade mecum.

In other words-as the Master might say-ls"ripping.rs" "-John le Carreacute; "McCrum . has written a biography that, if the subject were a general or a politician, would be dubbed ls"magisterial.rs" This is a magisterial biography: disinterested, but never detached, and always intriguing. Under the kindly and scholarly tutelage of McCrum, you might want to explore here the Wodehouse genius, the inconsistencies and downright silliness in the manrs"s life."-Frank McCourt, Globe and Mail "[An] absorbing and generous biography, which now takes its rightful place as ls"the life.rs" "-Christopher Buckley, Los Angeles Times Book Review "This book is a triumph. Not only should all P.

G. Wodehouse fans read it, but it is a masterly picture of twentieth-century history."-A. N. Wilson.
