Can of Worms signs three-volume Wodehouse account
New Can of Worms imprint TSB has landed a three-book account of P G Wodehouse’s life and works by Paul Kent.
Can of Worms m.d. Tobias Steed acquired world English language rights for the set direct from the author. The first book Pelham Grenville Wodehouse – Volume 1: “This is jolly old Fame” will be published in September and distributed by GBS in the UK and Ingram’s Two Rivers in the US.
The synopsis explains: “Kent’s volumes offer the reader a guided tour of Wodehouse’s imagination, for the first time ever uniting the master’s novels, stories, song lyrics, poems, plays and journalism in a single work. The first volume “This is jolly old Fame” explores the origins of Wodehouse’s comedic vision. During the extensive research period, Kent was granted unprecedented access to the Wodehouse family archive, as well as the writer’s private library.”
Kent is a long-serving committee member of the P G Wodehouse Society, writer and audiobook producer who has published works on Montaigne, Voltaire and Shakespeare.
