Description

Description

My Man Jeeves offers a fascinating glimpse into the creation of comic literature's most celebrated double-act. This collection contains early drafts of stories later rewritten for other collections, including Carry On, Jeeves.

The stories in My Man Jeeves are set in New York and feature a cast of characters that would become familiar to fans of Wodehouse's work. Four of the stories star Jeeves and Wooster themselves, while the others focus on an earlier version of Bertie, Reggie Pepper. Despite their differences, all the plots involve the same blend of amiable young men, choleric millionaires, chorus-girls, and vulpine aunts that Wodehouse is known for.

These early stories showcase Wodehouse's mastery of turning everyday incidents into golden farce. With Jeeves manipulating events from behind the scenes, the result is a unique blend of humor and wit that has captivated readers for generations.
