Description

It is an intriguing collection, where most of the stories concern relationships, sports and household pets, and interestingly does not feature any of Wodehouse’s regular characters; one however, “Extricating Young Gussie”, is remarkable as the first appearance of some of Wodehouse’s most well-known and beloved characters, Jeeves and his master Bertie Wooster (although here Bertie’s surname appears to be Mannering-Phipps, and Jeeves’ role is very small), along with Bertie’s fearsome Aunt Agatha.

Publisher Review

The handsome bindings are only the cherry on top of what is already a cake without compare. * Evening Standard * He exhausts superlatives * Stephen Fry * 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 *
