The Inimitable Jeeves (Warbler Classics Annotated Edition)

by P. G. Wodehouse

Overview

With their first appearance in 1915, Bertie Wooster and his highly competent valet Jeeves were destined to become Wodehouse's most famous duo. The hilarious stories that feature the charmingly foppish Bertie and his equally lightheaded friends being rescued from tedious social obligations, annoying relatives, scrapes with the law, and romantic problems by the quiet interventions of Jeeves are among Wodehouse's best-loved tales.

This Warbler Classics edition includes an extensive biographical timeline.

Many of his recurring characters have become fixtures of English literature, among them feckless Bertie Wooster and his sagacious valet, Jeeves; the immaculate and loquacious Psmith; and the bungling opportunist Stanley Featherstonehaugh Ukridge.
