Book description
Thank You, Jeeves
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...
Right-Ho, Jeeves
Gussie Fink-Nottle's knowledge of the common newt is unparalleled.
Drop him in a pond of newts and his behaviour will be exemplary, but
introduce him to a girl and watch him turn pink, yammer, and suddenly
stampede for great open spaces. Even with Madeline Bassett, who feels
that the stars are God's daisy chain, his tongue is tied in
reef-knots. And his chum Tuppy Glossop isn't getting on much better
with Madeline's delectable friend Angela.
With so many broken hearts lying about him, Bertie Wooster can't sit
idly by. The happiness of a pal - two pals, in fact - is at stake. But
somehow Bertie's best-laid plans land everyone in the soup, and so
it's just as well that Jeeves is ever at hand to apply his bulging
brains to the problems of young love.
The Code of the Woosters
When Bertie Wooster goes to Totleigh Towers to pour oil on the
troubled waters of a lovers' breach between Madeline Bassett and
Gussie Fink-Nottle, he isn't expecting to see Aunt Dahlia there - nor
to be instructed by her to steal some silver. But purloining the
antique cow creamer from under the baleful nose of Sir Watkyn Bassett
is the least of Bertie's tasks. He has to restore true love to both
Madeline and Gussie and to the Revd Stinker Pinker and Stiffy Byng -
and confound the insane ambitions of would-be Dictator Roderick Spode
and his Black Shorts. It's a situation that only Jeeves can unravel...
