Wodehouse died in 1975, which means that he will not be in the public domain in "life + 70" countries (which virtually all of us live in) until 1st Jan 2046.
In the
US only, anything published
prior to 1923 is in the public domain, but I'm afraid that's a fixed date - it doesn't move on year by year.
