Very Good Jeeves
Author: P. G. Wodehouse
Now with a delightful new look, two collections of stories by P. G. Wodehouse, a "comic genius recognized in his lifetime as a classic and an old master of farce"(The Times [London]) — In creating that incomparable pair--the lovable scamp Bertie Wooster and his unflappable valet, Jeeves--P. G. Wodehouse "made a world for us to live in a...  more » (Evelyn Waugh). This volume contains eleven stories, including "Jeeves and the Impending Doom," a hilarious chronicle of a ghastly weekend at Aunt Agatha's country home; "Jeeves and the Song of Songs," which features Bertie's reluctant public debut as a singer; and "The Inferiority Complex of Old Sippy," in which Jeeves manages, with his usual aplomb, to help one of Bertie's bumbling pals win the hand of the woman he loves.

When you read Wodehouse's "Wooster and Jeeves" stories it's very easy to understand how they were turned into a very funny and successful British TV series. Quite often I get so involved in the short stories I forget to chuckle. It's only after I've finished the story that I'll slap the book down and rejoice in the entertainment I've just had.

This book contains eleven short stories. These are parodies of the British class structure in that Wodehouse often makes upperclass Bertie Wooster look like a fool as his 'gentleman's gentleman Jeeves gets him out of trouble and saves the day. And so many of Wooster's relations make you wonder how Britain created an Empire.
