 Rating:  - Classic Jeeves & WoosterThis is the first collection of short stories with Bertie Wooster and Jeeves. The stories are loosely linked with fun references in later stories to earlier events; for example, to the time Bertie had a bedroom full of cats leading to a looney doctor thinking him crazy. I love it. A must for any Jeeves fan. Rating:  - Funny and frivolousThis funny volume by English comic writer P. G. Wodehouse is really a series of loosely connected short stories. Most of them (though not all) deals with dim witted bachelor Bertie Wooster, with the help of his inimitable and intelligent butler Jeeves, trying to help his friend Bingo Little, who can't fail to fall in love with the first woman in his sight.

For one thing, what do most of us have in common with the idle rich of 1920's England? These blokes spend most of their days carefree and content, engaging in such benign activities as hanging out at the local bar all day and gambling on everything from the ponies to what was dubbed "the great Sermon Handicap". The latter is essentially a bet about which of the parsons in ... Read More Rating: - What ho!Although "The Inimitable Jeeves" is not the first appearance of the famous double act, Jeeves and Wooster, it is the first book to be 'completely' dedicated to them. It was first published in 1923, and was originally known in America as, simply, "Jeeves". The book is set in the 1920s England and features Wodehouse's best known creations : Bertie Wooster and his valet, Jeeves. Bertie is the book's wealthy, good-natured and rather dim narrator. He's a member of the "idle rich" and, rather than ... Read More
