Week-End Wodehouse - required reading at country house parties in the late Thirties - remains one of the best introductions to the work of a writer who, in Hilaire Belloc's words, 'nearly always approaches, and often reaches, perfection'. ll the old favourites are here- Drones Club stories, Mr Mulliner stories, stories of Jeeves, Lord Emswort and Ukridge. But this hugely entertaining selection also contains generous extracts from the novels and non-fiction writings. ust as in its original edition Week-End Wodehouse is introduced by Hilaire Belloc and wittily decorated with illustrations by Kerr.
