P. G. Wodehouse

Mike on these occasions was silent and jumpy, his brow sicklied o'er with the pale cast of care. But Psmith followed his leader with the pleased and indulgent air of a father whose infant son is showing him round the garden. Psmith's attitude toward archaeological research struck a new note in the history of that neglected science. He was amiable, but patronizing. He patronized fossils, and he patronized ruins. If he had been confronted with the Great Pyramid, he would have patronized that.

This isn’t the best PGW book out there, but it’s just so thoroughly comfy for me. This falls happily in the genre of british boarding school stories - heavy on the cricket and pranks, low on the well-roundedness of teacher characters - that formed a good chunk of my childhood reading. AND it introduces us to Psmith, one of my favourite literary characters. Five stars for nostalgia.
