My Man Jeeves

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

My Man Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse is a collection of comedic work featuring three of Wodehouse's famous characters. Bertie is an idle rich man, who is always ready to help his friends. However, he would never be able to do so without the help of his odd but intelligent valet, Jeeves. Said to be the prototype for Bertie, Reggie Pepper is also a rich Englishman dedicated to assisting his friends. Unlike Bertie, he often has to act as the brains in any situation he is in, as he does not have a useful assistant like Jeeves.

This collection of stories is split between these characters: four feature Bertie and Jeeves while the other half focuses on Reggie. Leave it to Jeeves, the first story in the collection, follows Bertie and Jeeves' adventures in America. When one of Bertie's friends requests help convincing his uncle to accept his soon-to-be bride, Jeeves and Bertie are happy to supply a plan. However, the situation becomes complicated when their scheme leads to the uncle liking the young woman a little too much.

Much like the introductory story, Jeeves and the Hardboiled Egg depicts the strange circumstances the duo finds themselves in. In an attempt to help Bertie's friend, Bicky, out of a tough financial situation after lying to his uncle, Jeeves concocts a plan involving a chicken farm and a convention of Americans.

In a similar spirit of silly unconventionality, Reggie Pepper assists his forgetful friend, Bobby, in Absent Treatment. When Bobby's wife, Mary, declares that she will not see Bobby until he can remember her birthday, Bobby and Reggie investigate astrology and scour through their records to discover her birthdate.

Described as witty and heart-warming, My Man Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse is a timeless classic perfect for anyone in need of a good laugh. With well-developed, good-natured characters, My Man Jeeves provides an escape into simple comedy.

This edition of P.G. Wodehouse's My Man Jeeves features a striking new cover design and is printed in a stylish font, making it both readable and modern.

About the Author

Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (1881-1975) was an English author. Though he was named after his godfather, the author was not a fan of his name and more commonly went by P.G Wodehouse. Known for his comedic work, Wodehouse created reoccurring characters that became a beloved staple of his literature. Though most of his work was set in London, Wodehouse also spent a fair amount of time in the United States. Much of his work was converted into an β€œAmerican” version, and he wrote a series of Broadway musicals that helped lead to the development of the American musical. P.G Wodehouse’s eclectic and prolific canon of work both in Europe and America developed him to be one of the most widely read humorists of the 20th century.
