My Man Jeeves

The first book in renowned author P.G. Wodehouse's Jeeves series, 'My Man Jeeves' is a classic, humorous novel from one of the 20th century's most widely read humorists. It offers a fascinating insight into the genesis of comic literature's most celebrated double-act. All the stories are set in New York, four of them featuring Jeeves and Wooster themselves; the rest concerning Reggie Pepper, an earlier version of Bertie. Plots involve the usual cast of amiable young clots, choleric millionaires, chorus-girls and vulpine aunts, but towering over them all is the inscrutable figure of Jeeves, manipulating the action from behind the scenes. Early or not, these stories are masterly examples of Wodehouse's art, turning the most ordinary incidents into golden farce. "e;What a queer thing Life is! So unlike anything else, don't you know, if you see what I mean."e; P.G. Wodehouse (My Man Jeeves)
