"Mr Wodehouse's idyllic world can never stale. He will continue to
release future generations from captivity that may be more irksome
than our own. He has made a world for us to live in and delight
in." -Evelyn Waugh "Wodehouse is one of the funniest and most
productive men who ever wrote in English. He is far from being a
mere jokesmith: he is an authentic craftsman, a wit and humorist of
the first water, the inventor of a prose style which is a kind of
comic poetry." -Richard Voorhees First published in 1923, The
Inimitable Jeeves follows young Bertie Wooster as he complicates
every attempt to aid the easily confused Bingo Little's pursuit of
true love. Disaster surely awaits, unless they can trust in the
intervention of Bertie's serenely competent valet, Jeeves. The
Inimitable Jeeves is a chain of short stories masterfully fused
into a novel and one of the best-known books about the author's
most famous characters, Bertie Wooster and Jeeves. Well meaning,
but often clueless, man-about-town Bertie narrates his adventures
with assorted friends and relatives. These deal primarily with his
chum Bingo Little's astounding ability to fall instantly and
randomly in love and then conceive of startlingly absurd methods of
getting himself into his beloved's good graces. Wodehouse's joyous
farce showcases his trademark vision of a timeless and comfortable
England, a collection of generally less-than-perceptive characters,
and most especially his sublime prose- deadpan, precise and
ceaselessly inventive. The author's vision and style have proven
uniquely his own, resist any attempt at imitation and will continue
to offer readers entrance into a world of charm and urbane
hilarity. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally
typeset manuscript, this edition of The Inimitable Jeeves is both
modern and readable.
