My Man Jeeves

by P. G. Wodehouse

Overview

There's no kind of trouble Wooster can get into that Jeeves can't fix in this classic collection of stories featuring the iconic English valet.
 
Meet Reginald Jeeves, the consummate gentleman's gentleman and personal valet to the wealthy young idler Bertie Wooster. First appearing in the Saturday Evening Post in 1915, Jeeves became one of the most beloved characters in modern English fiction as, time and again, he helped Wooster and his friends out of various messes—including a number of unwise or unwanted engagements.
 
My Man Jeeves collects four of Wodehouse's most memorable Jeeves and Wooster stories and pairs them with four comic tales of Wodehouse's original man-about-town, Reggie Pepper. From Jeeves's unconventional solution for handling an unwanted houseguest to Reggie Pepper's attempt to save a forgetful friend's marriage, Wodehouse demonstrates his signature tongue-in-cheek wit in these eight charming stories.

Editorial Reviews

"What ho!" I said.

"What ho!" said Motty.

"What ho! What ho!"

"What ho! What ho! What ho!"

After that it seemed rather difficult to go on with the conversation."

"Birds, except when broiled and in the society of a cold bottle, bored him stiff."

"The funny thing was that he wasn't altogether a fool in other ways. Deep down in him there was a kind of stratum of sense. I had known him, once or twice, show an almost human intelligence. But to reach that stratum, mind you, you needed dynamite."
