A Wodehouse folder has been created which shows you the places of interest in Wodehouse's life and also the fictional places in his books.

With lots of CPU power and memory you can tour (click play button) the whole Wodehouse folder. If your computer has limited capabilities only check one of the subfolders, select the folder and press the play button or only check one item and double click to fly to that place and get some information.
You may want to increase in the Preferences window your memory cache (to about half your internal memory, 250 MB is fine) and your disk cache (max. 2GB).

For some of the views you should have the 'terrain' box in the Layers window 'checked', so turn the terrain on for better viewing. For your browser I advise Firefox, which displays some links with images better than other browsers. It is also advised to have the 3D viewing on.
In case you get an error message while starting Google Earth to view your Wodehouse folder, remove the old one and download the latest folder.
Enjoy the tour.

Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse KBE (October 15, 1881 - February 14, 1975) (pronounced WOOD-house) was an English comic writer who enjoyed enormous popular success for more than seventy years. Wodehouse was an acknowledged master of English prose admired both by contemporaries like Hilaire Belloc, Evelyn Waugh and Rudyard Kipling and by modern writers like Salman Rushdie and Terry Pratchett. Sean O'Casey famously called him "English literature's performing flea", a derogatory description that Wodehouse cherished and adopted as the title of his autobiography. The Times has hailed him as a 'comic genius recognized in his lifetime as a classic and an old master of farce'.

Best-known today for the Jeeves and Blandings Castle novels and short stories, Wodehouse was also a talented playwright and lyricist who was part author and writer of fifteen plays and of 250 lyrics for some thirty musical comedies. He worked with Cole Porter on the musical Anything Goes and frequently collaborated with Jerome Kern and Guy Bolton. He wrote the lyrics for the hit song "Bill" in Show Boat.
