Very Good, Jeeves!: A Jeeves & Wooster Collection

by P. G. Wodehouse

Overview

P. G. Wodehouse’sVery Good, Jeeves! is a collection of short stories starring Bertie Wooster in 11 alarming predicaments from which he has to be rescued by his peerless gentleman’s gentleman.

Whether Bertie is tangled with a red-headed ball of fire such as Roberta Wickham, dealing with an irate headmistress, placating a cabinet minister, puncturing the wrong hot water bottle, singing “Sonny Boy,” or simply trying to concentrate on his golf handicap, Jeeves is always there to help—though rarely in ways which his employer expects. These brilliantly plotted stories give the essence of Wodehousean comedy.

What People are Saying About This

Evelyn Waugh

Wodehouse’s idyllic world can never stale. He will continue to release future generations from captivity that may be more irksome than our own. He has made a world for us to live in and delight in.

Stephen Fry

You don’t analyze such sunlit perfection, you just bask in its warmth and splendor.

Kingsley Amis

The works of Wodehouse continue on their unique way, unmarked by the passage of time.

Lynne Truss

You should read Wodehouse when you’re well, and when you’re poorly; when you’re travelling, and when you’re not; when you’re feeling clever, and when you’re feeling utterly dim. Wodehouse always lifts your spirits, no matter how high they happen to be already.

Ben Elton

Sublime comic genius.
