It's quite difficult to get hold of his more obscure (if that's the right word) books in NZ. I've read everything available in the library and always look out for his books in second-hand shops, but haven't come across these two, as far as I remember.

Wodehouse is my favourite humorous author. I saw some-one describe his books as satire, which I suppose in a way they are. I've read every book of his I can lay my hands on and many several times. They are real feel-good books and so very funny. Jeeves and Wooster are my favs, and like you say sib, Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry play their parts to perfection. But the Blandings series is excellent as well, I have a lot of affection for Lord Emsworth and his pig. I love the names the gives his characters - Gussie Fink-Nottle, Biffy, Barmy, Stiffy, Pongo etc etc. Now I'm going to use one of his quotes as my signature:mrgreen:

I've read a few of his books but the one that really sticks out is 'Blott on the Landscape'. Also saw the TV series of this years ago featuring Geraldine James, David Suchet, George Cole and Simon Cadell. Was absolutely hilarious, satire at it's best.
