Very Good, Jeeves! by P G Wodehouse

Follow the adventures of Bertie Wooster and his gentleman's gentleman, Jeeves, in this stunning new edition of one of the greatest comic short story collections in the English language. Whoever or whatever the cause of Bertie Wooster's consternation-Bobbie Wickham giving away his fierce Aunt Agatha's dog; getting into the bad books of Sir Roderick Glossop; attempting to scupper the unfortunate infatuation of his friend Tuppy for a robust opera singer-Jeeves can always be relied on tyo untangle the most ferocious of muddles. Even Bertie's.
Wodehouse is the funniest writer-that is, the most resourceful and unflagging deliverer of fun-that the human race, a glum crowd, has yet produced-- The New Yorker
A brilliantly funny writer-perhaps the most consistently funny the English language has yet produced. -- The Times [London]
There are eleven tales in this book and each is the best. -- The Observer
Wodehouse's idyllic world can never stale. He will continue to release future generations from captivity that may be more irksome than our own. He has made a world for us to live in and delight in. -- Evelyn Waugh
You should read Wodehouse when you're well, and when you're poorly; when you're travelling, and when you're not; when you're feeling clever, and when you're feeling utterly dim. Wodehouse always lifts your spirits, no matter how high they happen to be already. -- Lynne Truss
You don't analyze such sunlit perfection, you just bask in its warmth and splendor. -- Stephen Fry
The works of Wodehouse continue on their unique way, unmarked by the passage of time. -- Kingsley Amis
Sublime comic genius. -- Ben Elton
P. G. Wodehouse was born in England in 1881 and in 1955 became an American citizen. He published more than ninety books and had a successful career writing lyrics and musicals in collaboration with Jerome Kern, Guy Bolton, and Cole Porter, among others.
