Wodehouse was one of my father's favorite authors. I didn't like the books as a child, but they grew on me. I inherited much of my father's collection, and occasionally re-read one of them.
They've also in the meantime become historical novels, which adds another touch. I often enjoy that in old mystery stories, also. The Dorothy Sayers and Ellery Queen books, for instance; none of these were historicals when they were written, but they are now -- and having been written from inside their times gives them a different feel than modern books written as historicals about their time periods. (With Wodehouse, of course, one has to allow for their being satires.)
