Synopsis

For more than 25 years, Norman (N.T.P.) Murphy led fans of the great humorist P. G. Wodehouse on walks through London, visiting the sites associated with Wodehouse and his books. In 2009 he published Three Wodehouse Walks, which includes his original walk through Bertie Wooster's Mayfair as well as two additional walks: one through the London of Gally Threepwood and Stanley Ukridge, the other in Wodehouse's beloved Dulwich ('Valley Fields'), south of London. In addition to covering the Wodehouse sites, Norman's walks include much on the social history of London. This revised edition updates and expands the original book, adding maps that track Norman's routes, as well as appendices. Appendix 1 provides a way to combine two of the walks and includes two of Norman's stories that had to be excised from the routes in the revised edition. Appendix 2 lists multiple other sites in London associated with Wodehouse that are not covered on Norman's walks, while Appendix 3 gives the reader further resources for visiting Wodehouse sites in and out of London.
