Author: P.G.Woodhouse / Year: 1845-1929 / Genre: humor Wodehouse sets the stories in the early 20th century and allows the audience to enter the world of the upper-class
establishments, and experience the many awkward situations the characters find themselves in. A satirical portrayal
of characters and events, the stories see the presence of a rich young Englishman Bertie Wooster, who resides in
New York, and leads a comfortable lifestyle. He is additionally accompanied by his suave valet Jeeves, whose positive
influence is known to swiftly rescue his employer from discomfort. The collection begins with a story that introduces
the all-knowing Jeeves, who is described as being the brains of the party, and the daft yet charming Wooster who
appears to be a magnet for misfortune. Together the pair must outwit acquaintances by devising schemes, though
they repeatedly neglect calculating possible outcomes, and as a result further entangle themselves in their own web.
The other stories featuring the inseparable duo all seem to center around certain predicaments that require Jeeves’
quick wits and sage solutions, and subsequently follow him as he gives spot-on advice on various distinct topics ranging
from fashion, finance and horse betting. Furthermore, four stories observe Reggie Pepper, who is also an idle young
socialite and victim to endless troublesome situations. He too must come up with respectable solutions to spare
him from embarrassment. The style, witty dialogue, absurd situations, and memorable characters are just some
of the aspects that mark the collection as a humorous treasure
