Book description
Bertie may be in danger of having his spine severed in five places by
that jealous gorilla G. D'Arcy (Stilton) Cheesewright, but, as Jeeves
insists, the priorities still have to be observed. And so, thanks to
Jeeves, they are throughout this bumper volume, whatever mayhem may be
loosed upon the befuddled head and generous heart of Bertram Wilberforce
Wooster. Gathered in this volume are three of Wodehouse's hilarious
Jeeves and Wooster novels:
Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit
, Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves
and Jeeves in the Offing
.
The author of almost a hundred books and the creator of Jeeves,
Blandings Castle, Psmith, Ukridge, Uncle Fred and Mr Mulliner, P. G.
Wodehouse was born in 1881 and educated at Dulwich College. After two
years with the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank he became a full-time
writer, contributing to a variety of periodicals. As well as his
novels and short stories, he wrote lyrics for musical comedies, and at
one stage had five shows running simultaneously on Broadway.
At the age of 93, in the New Year's Honours List of 1975, he
received a long-overdue Knighthood, only to die on St Valentine's Day
some 45 days later.
