Notable for the first appearance of P.G Wodehouse’s popular
reoccurring characters, Bertie and Jeeves, The Man with Two Left
Feet and Other Stories features thirteen funny and sentimental
works of short fiction. The first story in the collection, Bill the
Bloodhound follows a young detective named Henry Rice, who is in
love with Alice, a woman who sings in a chorus. When Alice declines
Henry’s marriage proposal, she admits that while she finds Henry
sweet, she only wants to marry someone from her profession.
Desperate for Alice’s love, Henry gives theater a try. Taking on
an interesting perspective, two stories in the collection, The
Mixer: He Meets a Shy Gentleman, and The Mixer: He Moves in Society
features the narration of a terrier-boxer mix dog, who is
incredibly social and observes the behavior of the humans around
him. In Extricating Young Gussie, the famed characters Bertie and
Jeeves are introduced. When Bertie’s cousin, Gussie, is set on
marrying a woman that his mother does not approve of, Bertie’s
aunt, Agatha, begs Bertie and Jeeves to convince her son to do
otherwise. Finally, the title piece of the collection, The Man with
Two Left Feet depicts a sweet and tender love story, following a
man named Henry and his wife, Minnie. Though they share a
comfortable relationship, Henry fears that he is boring. In
attempts to surprise and impress Minnie, Henry, who is a rhythmless
man, attempts to learn how to dance. Set in both London and New
York, P.G Wodehouse’s The Man with Two Left Feet and Other
Stories feature a variety of settings just as it portrays an
eclectic mix of protagonists. Crafted with masterful humor and a
light-hearted tone, The Man with Two Left Feet and Other Stories
remains to be a timeless collection of sentiment and humor. This
edition of The Man with Two Left Feet and Other Stories by P.G
Wodehouse features a new, eye-catching cover design and is printed
in a modern font to accommodate a contemporary audience.
