The classic misadventures continue with The Inimitable Jeeves, a collection of lighthearted tales featuring the dim-witted idler Bertie Wooster and his long-suffering manservant Jeeves. Fans of classic British comedy will chuckle as P. G. Wodehouse pokes gentle fun at the English upper classes.
P. G. Wodehouse (1881-1975) grew up in England and came to the United States just before World War I, when he married an American. He wrote more than ninety books, and his works, translated into many languages, won him worldwide acclaim.

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.
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.
