P. G. Wodehouse

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...A display of sustained comic brilliance, this novel shows Wodehouse rising to the top of his game.

Thank You, Jeeves

Pelham Grenville Wodehouse

Bertie Wooster attempts to solve his personal problems on his own, but at last is forced to turn to his butler, Jeeves, for help.

English humour at its classic best, P.G. Wodehouse spins a tale of such witty warmheartedness, it leaves you lost in his world of strange characters and even stranger circumstances. There is perfection in every line Wodehouse has penned and the ever so delicate prose leaves you stranded on an island of golden wit, an island you wouldn't want to leave.

Rick Dobrowolski

You just can't beat the character, Jeeves. This is one of Wodehouse's funniest yet.

This would be an absolutely delightful book if it weren't for the plot relying heavily on multiple characters, including Bertie, wearing blackface. The usual hijinx are marred by fairly regular racism.

'The Funniest writer ever to put words on paper' Hugh Laurie 'I mean, if you're asking a fellow to come out of a room so that you can dismember him with a carving knife, it's absurd to tack a 'sir' on to every sentence. The two things don't go together.' The odds are stacked against Chuffy when he falls head over heels for American heiress Pauline Stoker. Who better to help him win her over but Jeeves, the perfect gentleman's gentleman. But when Bertie, Pauline's ex-fiancé finds himself caught up in the fray, much to his consternation, even Jeeves struggles to get Chuffy his fairy-tale ending. 'The ultimate in comfort reading. For as long as I'm immersed in a P.G. Wodehouse book, it's possible to keep the real world at bay and live in a far, far nicer, funnier one where happy endings are the order of the day' Marian Keyes

Thank You, Jeeves
