What to expect

A humorist praised by humorists, P. G. Wodehouse here introduces two of his most beloved characters.

My Man Jeeves, first published in 1919, introduced the world to affable, indolent Bertie Wooster and his precise, capable valet, Jeeves. Some of the finest examples of humorous writing found in English literature are woven around the relationship between these two men of very different classes and temperaments. Where Bertie is impetuous and feeble, Jeeves is coolheaded and poised.

This collection, the first book of Jeeves and Wooster stories, contains eight stories, including “Leave It to Jeeves,” “Helping Freddie,” “Rallying round Old George,” “Doing Clarence a Bit of Good,” “Absent Treatment,” and “Jeeves and the Hard-Boiled Egg.”

Critics Review

  • “There is not, and never will be, anything to touch him.”

    Christopher Hitchens

  • “Mr. Wodehouse’s idyllic world can never stale.”

    Evelyn Waugh

  • “Wodehouse is the greatest comic writer ever.”

    Douglas Adams

  • “Wodehouse’s novels are the very definition of British humor—bubblingly witty and dryly loony.”

    Entertainment Weekly

  • “All one can do [with Wodehouse’s books] is read them and laugh like an idiot.”
