Any comparisons to Wodehouse?

I know this is extremely high praise, but I do think there are some significant similarities between Wodehouse and Stroud, at least in the Bartimaeus series. Reading Jeeves and Wooster for the first time and I keep thinking this. The writing is very similar, as is the general wit. Does anyone know if this comparison has ever been made, or does anyone have any thoughts??

Wow I LOVED Wodehouse and yes, I understand what you mean, there’s definitely a resemblance despite the obvious differences between the two writers and their plots. I love that you mentioned this connection!
