My Man Jeeves (Paperback)

In this collection of short stories, P.G. Wodehouse introduced the world to Bertie Wooster and his manservant Jeeves, two of the best-loved characters in literature. Half of the eight stories follow the exploits of Jeeves and Wooster, and half examine the doings of Reggie Pepper, an early version of Bertie Wooster. Set during the downswing of the increasingly unpopular British aristocracy, the stories in My Man Jeeves bear no grudges. The light feel makes them easy and uplifting to read. From today's vantage point, the setting of My Man Jeeves may seem remote; but the themes are universal and the characters remind us of people we know. When told through the tip of Wodehouse's pen, even the daily routines of Bertie, Jeeves, and Reggie become hilarious narratives
