'You don't analyse such sunlit perfection, you just bask in its warmth and splendour.' Stephen Fry

A Jeeves and Wooster collection

An outstanding collection of Jeeves stories, every one a winner, in which Jeeves endeavours to give satisfaction: By saving a grumpy cabinet minister from being marooned and attacked by a swan - in the process saving Bertie Wooster from his impending doom...By rescuing Bingo Little and Tuppy Glossop from the soup (twice each)...By arranging rather too many performances of the song 'Sonny Boy' to a not very appreciative audience...And by a variety of other sparkling stratagems that should reduce you to helpless laughter. This early collection shows P.G.Wodehouse at the top of his game, writing with sublime wit and delicacy of plotting.

'Ever since I picked up my dad's copy of Very Good, Jeeves aged 11 I've adored PG Wodehouse.' Anna Carey's favourite funny book for Irish Times

Praise for Very Good, Jeeves

Witty and effortlessly fluid. His books are laugh-out-loud funny

Arabella Weir

P.G. Wodehouse wrote the best English comic novels of the century

Sebastian Faulks

The Wodehouse wit should be registered at Police HQ as a chemical weapon

Ben Elton

It's dangerous to use the word genius to describe a writer, but I'll risk it with him

John Humphrys

For as long as I'm immersed in a P.G. Wodehouse book, it's possible to keep the real world at bay and live in a far, far nicer, funnier one where happy endings are the order of the day

Marian Keyes

P.G. Wodehouse remains the greatest chronicler of a certain kind of Englishness, that no one else has ever captured quite so sharply, or with quite as much wit and affection

Julian Fellowes

A genius . . . Elusive, delicate but lasting
