Containing drafts of stories later rewritten for other collections
(including Carry On, Jeeves), My Man Jeeves offers a fascinating
insight into the genesis of comic literature's most celebrated
double-act. All the stories are set in New York, four of them
featuring Jeeves and Wooster themselves; the rest concerning Reggie
Pepper, an earlier version of Bertie. Plots involve the usual cast
of amiable young clots, choleric millionaires, chorus-girls and
vulpine aunts, but towering over them all is the inscrutable figure
of Jeeves, manipulating the action from behind the scenes. Early or
not, these stories are masterly examples of Wodehouse's art,turning
the most ordinary incidents into golden farce.
