A Jeeves and Wooster novel
Thank You, Jeeves is the first novel to feature the incomparable valet Jeeves and his hapless charge Bertie Wooster - and you've hardly started to turn the pages when he resigns over Bertie's dedicated but somewhat untuneful playing of the banjo. In high dudgeon, Bertie disappears to the country as a guest of his chum Chuffy - only to find his peace shattered by the arrival of his ex-fiancée Pauline Stoker, her formidable father and the eminent loony-doctor Sir Roderick Glossop. When Chuffy falls in love with Pauline and Bertie seems to be caught in flagrante, a situation boils up which only Jeeves (whether employed or not) can simmer down...

Format:Paperback
Highly enjoyable romp, written in Wodehouse's distinctive public school banter. Everything turns out for the best after a series of Brian Rix farce scenarios. I found it virtually impossible to stop visualising Fry and Laurie throughout.
Jeeves is the steadfast fulcrum whilst Bertie Wooster bumbles his way through the story as best as he can for someone described as, 'mentally somewhat negligible ...but with a heart of gold'.
Beautifully written and often very funny. It is so delicious that its like eating rich chocolate profiteroles; one too many and you start to feel queasy. I will be delighted to try another Jeeves, but not for a few months.

I recently returned to p.g.wodehouse after too long an absence. I rediscovered what a delightfully droll writer he was. For those familiar with his works the tales of Jeeves & Wooster will always bring a smile to their lips. With those unfamiliar, I would strongly recommend "dipping your toe" in his delightfully amusing stories of an England that sadly never was but wishfully might have been.
Format:Paperback
The first Jeeves and Wooster novel, as opposed to collection of short stories, finds Jeeves having parted company with Bertie over the latter's recently taken up pastime of banjo playing. Bertie's landlord and fellow tenants are also less than keen on Bertie's playing, so Bertie jumps at the chance of staying in a cottage on Chuffy Chufnell's estate, where he can strum to his heart's content. Matters soon become complicated however when the Stokers arrive on the scene. Bertie was briefly engaged to Pauline Stoker, and her father, a rich American magnate, hates Bertie's guts. Pop Stoker has decided to buy Chuffy's crumbling estate for use as a sanitorium by Sir Roderick Glossop (well known nerve specialist). Honoria Glossop is another of Bertie's exes and not only does Sir Roderick despise Bertie, but he also thinks him certifiable. To add further complications, Chuffy is deeply in love with Pauline Stoker (a mutual love) but is too principled to propose until he has the money from the sale of his estate. He is not too pleased to find that Bertie was previously attached to her, and even less pleased to hear of Bertie's kissing her (as part of a Wooster plan to make him jealous and so propose more quickly). Pop Stoker is also appalled by the thought that his daughter might still be in love with Wooster, and he is man prone to violence! As everything disintegrates in a series of escalating misunderstandings Jeeves, now in Chuffy's employment, brings his masterly (and somewhat scheming) intellect to bear in order to save the day, and Bertie's neck. A thoroughly enjoyable read.

The first review said it all... and said it *really* well.
So perhaps this one is a little capricious... but "Thank You, Jeeves" - and Wodehouse - is so spectacular, it deserves to have more than one review. Read more

Thanks You Jeeves just shows what the author could do when he decided to stretch the vignette formula into a novel. Read more
