Richard Alexander Usborne (16 May 1910 – 21 March 2006),〔 or simply Dick Usborne, was a journalist, advertising executive and author. He is widely regarded as the leading scholar of the life and works of British comic writer P. G. Wodehouse (1881–1975). == Early life == Richard Usborne was born on 16 May 1910 at Simla, in British India,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Richard Alexander Usborne )〕 the son of a civil servant. He was educated in England at Summer Fields Preparatory school, Charterhouse School and then Balliol College, Oxford. After failing to enter the Indian Civil Service because of a heart murmur,〔''Daily Telegraph'' 2006, op. cit.〕 Usborne began work in advertising, before founding with three friends a listings magazine ''London Week''. This still survives as ''What's On'' although he was nearly responsible for its bankruptcy when the magazine was sued by a restaurant for libel because of an observation he made in a review of it. The magazine was sold and Usborne re-entered the advertising profession.〔 In 1938, he married Monica Stuart MacArthur, originally from New Mexico.
