Wodehouse's Jeeves

P. G. Wodehouse’s Thank You, Jeeves was a short but enjoyable “read” (which I actually listened to on CD). The author’s name looked familiar last time I was in the library, and I grabbed this on a whim.

I am pleased to report that Thank You, Jeeves is a comedy of manners that would rival Oscar Wilde. Jeeves, the servant of Bertie Wooster, is the brains of the operation, and manages to help his laughably accident prone master out of a whole array of sticky situations. Bertie is certainly a man for whom Murphy’s Law constantly applies. In this story (as there are a number of pairings between Wooster and Jeeves, whereby Jeeves always has to “save the day”) there are broken engagements, several cases of mistaken identity, blackened faces that cannot be cleaned off without the missing butter, and a horribly tuneless banjolele.

I will definitely be getting into more Wodehouse.
