He enjoyed enormous popular success during a career that lasted more than seventy years and his many writings continue to be widely read.

Rowling, and Terry Pratchett Entire books have been written praising his style and wit. Journalist and writer Christopher Hitchens commented, "There is not, and never will be, anything to touch him."
