Description
'Sublime comic genius... light as a feather... fabulous' Ben Elton
'Ever since I picked up my dad's copy of Very Good, Jeeves aged eleven, I've adored P. G. Wodehouse' Anna Care
Join Bertie Wooster and his gentleman's gentleman, Jeeves, in their adventures with eleven laugh-out-loud funny short stories from the perennial comic, P. G. Wodehouse.
Fun-loving Bertie and his friends are always getting themselves into scrapes, and it's up to Jeeves to fix the mess they leave behind. Whether it's helping Bertie recover his Aunt Agatha's lost dog, plot revenge against his old pal Tuppy Glossop, or navigate numerous love interests - Jeeves has always got an answer. After all, all's well that ends well - even if it's rarely as Bertie plans.
'You don't analyse such sunlit perfection, you just bask in its warmth and splendour.' Stephen Fry
