''Performing Flea'' is a non-fiction book, consisting of a series of letters written by P. G. Wodehouse to William Townend, a friend of Wodehouse's since their schooldays together at Dulwich College. It was originally published in the United Kingdom on 9 October 1953 by Herbert Jenkins, London.〔McIlvaine, E., Sherby, L.S. and Heineman, J.H. (1990) ''P.G. Wodehouse: A comprehensive bibliography and checklist''. New York: James H. Heineman, pp. 89-90. ISBN 087008125X〕 The title alludes to a disparaging comment by the playwright Seán O'Casey, who, in a letter to ''The Daily Telegraph'' in July 1941, referring to Wodehouse's radio broadcasts from Berlin, wrote that "If England has any dignity left in the way of literature, she will forget for ever the pitiful antics of English literature's performing flea". The letters are introduced and annotated by Townend, who had provided Wodehouse with the inspiration for his character Ukridge. The United States version of the book, entitled ''Author! Author!'', was published on 20 June 1962 by Simon & Schuster, Inc., New York.〔 It was substantially reworked, with commentary by Wodehouse replacing much of Townend's contribution. ==References==
