ABOUT THE BOOK: This collection of short stories is a good example of early Wodehouse. It is here the Jeeves makes his first appearance with these unremarkable words: “Mrs. Gregson to see you, Sir”. Years later, when Jeeves became a household name, Wodehouse said he blushed to think of the off hand way he had treated the man at their first encounter. This anthology is a thorough introduction to classic literature for those who have not yet experienced these literary master works. For those who have known and loved these works in the past, this is an invitation to reunite with old friends in a fresh new format.
P. G. Wodehouse (1881-1975) is widely regarded as the greatest comic writer of the 2th century. Wodehouse wrote more than 7 novels and 2 short stories, creating numerous much-loved characters - the inimitable Jeeves and Wooster, Lord Emsworth and his beloved Empress of Blandings, Mr Mulliner, Ukridge, and Psmith. His humorous articles were published in more than 8 magazines, including Punch, over six decades. He was also a highly successful music lyricist, once with over five musicals running on Broadway simultaneously. P.G. Wodehouse was awarded the Mark Twain Prize for 'an outstanding and lasting contribution to the happiness of the world'.
