A more mature departure from his comedic mystery series, P. G. Wodehouse's 'Not George Washington' takes readers through the point of view of many characters, establishing a perilous world of writers in 20th century London. In his introduction, editor David A. Jasen outlines the similarities between the actual events in the life of a young Wodehouse and the life of his fictional avatar James Orlebar Cloyster.
