Press clippings

The twenties craze for crosswords and the consequent tendency of George and his beloved to talk in strings of synonyms would been better, I think, left on paper. As Wodehouse goes, the Mulliner stories are second eleven stuff, which means they can knock the spats and spots off yarns 40 years younger.

Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 24th April 1975
