'The Man Upstairs and Other Stories' is a collection of short stories by P. G. Wodehouse. Nineteen tales can be found inside, with the first one being 'The Man Upstairs'. It tells the story of a quick-tempered female composer and music teacher, named Annette Brougham, who is disturbed by a knocking on her ceiling. She visits the flat above to complain, but despite her initial feelings of anger towards him, she soon finds herself drawn to "Alan Beverley", the modest and charming struggling artist she finds there.
Nineteen tales of romantic entanglements from one of British literature’s comedic stars, the author of the Jeeves novels. First published in 1914, these short stories by P. G. Wodehouse deal with matters of the heart in all their complicated glory. From the struggling artist and his lovely downstairs neighbor in “The Man Upstairs” to a playwright’s romantic rescues in “Deep Waters” to a matrimonial sweepstakes in “The Good Angel,” Wodehouse captures the circumstances—both mundane and mysterious, contrived and spontaneous—that bring two strangers together in love. Praise for P. G. Wodehouse “Wodehouse’s idyllic world can never stale. He will continue to release future generations from captivity that may be more irksome than our own. He has made a world for us to live in and delight in.” —Evelyn Waugh “He exhausts superlatives.” —Stephen Fry “Pure word music.” —Douglas Adams

Dear The Man Upstairs is the captivating story of a young girl named Amber who begins writing to the "Man Upstairs," not realizing that the name is a euphemism for God. Someone writes her back and that person is not God. The series of letters that follow explore family dynamics, societal expectations, mental health, and the truth about growing up. Amber's unique experiences and gift for storytelling shows readers that there is more than one way to be a healthy, happy child; that families don't have to be perfect to stick together.
