"The immortal comic duo of ditsy Bertram Wooster and his unflappable valet Reginald Jeeves" are at it again in this hilarious follow-up to My Man Jeeves ( The Washington Post).


As Evelyn Waugh said of him, P. G. Wodehouse "satisfies the most sophisticated taste and the simplest." His second collection to feature British butler Jeeves and his frivolous aristocratic employer, Bertie Wooster, contains some of his best loved stories, including "The Great Sermon Handicap," in which bets are placed on which parson will preach the longest Sunday sermon. Many of these linked stories feature the romantic misadventures of Bertie's friend Bingo Little—who falls in love with everyone from a parson's niece, a romance novelist, and a Communist to Bertie's own fiancée. Bertie also struggles with willful Aunt Agatha and the formidable and athletic Honoria Glossop, who just may be a bit too much woman for him. As always, Jeeves steps in to set things right.

P. G. Wodehouse

Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (always known as ‘Plum’) wrote more than ninety novels and some three hundred short stories over 73 years. He is widely recognised as the greatest 20th-century writer of humour in the English language.

Perhaps best known for the escapades of Bertie Wooster and Jeeves, Wodehouse also created the world of Blandings Castle, home to Lord Emsworth and his cherished pig, the Empress of Blandings. His stories include gems concerning the irrepressible and disreputable Ukridge; Psmith, the elegant socialist; the ever-so-slightly-unscrupulous Fifth Earl of Ickenham, better known as Uncle Fred; and those related by Mr Mulliner, the charming raconteur of The Angler’s Rest, and the Oldest Member at the Golf Club.

In 1936 he was awarded the Mark Twain Prize for ‘having made an outstanding and lasting contribution to the happiness of the world’. He was made a Doctor of Letters by Oxford University in 1939 and in 1975, aged 93, he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II. He died shortly afterwards, on St Valentine’s Day.
