The Inimitable Jeeves

These wonderfully written, comic tales of Bertie Wooster and his manservant, the inimitable Jeeves of the title, are a delight. Wodehouse's prose sparkles with wit and there are laugh out loud moments as Wooster navigates the perils of his Aunt Agatha trying to marry him off, and his friend Bingo Little falling in love with virtually every girl he meets.

Wodehouse sets his characters in that peculiar post-world war I period where the “Bright Young Things” revelled in their wealth and idleness and nothing was more important than a decent meal, good company and some jolly good larks, what?

Along the way the upper classes get lampooned, Jeeves saves the day on more than one occasion, and Wooster lives to fight another day.

Marvellous stuff.
