Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (1881-1975) was a popular English comic writer. His books are usually set around pre-war upper-class English society.

"Not George Washington" (1907), written in collaboration with Herbert Westbrook, is a humorous, fictionalised account of Wodehouse's early years as a journalist. The story is told in first person, but by four different characters.

I created this version from the PG text, formatted with curly quotes, a TOC, etc. For those wanting to read this in a web browser, I include an index.zip file: just unzip this and the .epub file in the same directory, and open index.html (and modify index.css if you like).

Any kind of feedback is welcome.

EDIT (v2): Modified the drop caps code to make it work with Adobe Digital Editions (and the Sony reader).

EDIT (v3): Updated to pass epubcheck and to support the epub2pdf script.
