The fascination of shooting as a sport depends almost wholly on whether you are at the right or wrong end of the gun..."

"He had just about enough intelligence to open his mouth when he wanted to eat, but certainly no more..."

"She looked as if she had been poured into her clothes and had forgotten to say when."

Typical. Just when Bertie thinks that God's in his heaven and all's right with the world, things start to go wrong again...
There's young Bingo Little, who's in love for the umpteenth time and needs Bertie to put in a good word for him with his uncle; Aunt Agatha, who forces Bertie to get engaged to the formidable Honoria Glossop; and the troublesome twins, Claude and Eustace, whose antics when let loose in London know no bounds.
Add to that some friction in the Wooster home over a red cummerbund, purple socks and some snazzy old Etonian spats, and poor Bertie's really in the soup...
Only one man can save the day - the inimitable Jeeves.

Praise for The Inimitable Jeeves

He exhausts superlatives

Stephen Fry

The handsome bindings are only the cherry on top of what is already a cake without compare

The Independent

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

Evelyn Waugh
