In creating that incomparable pair -- the lovable scamp Bertie Wooster and his unflappable valet, Jeeves -- P. G. Wodehouse "made a world for us to live in and delight in" (Evelyn Waugh). This volume contains eleven stories, including "Jeeves and the Impending Doom, " a hilarious chronicle of a ghastly weekend at Aunt Agatha's country home; "Jeeves and the Song of Songs, " which features Bertie's reluctant public debut as a singer; and "The Inferiority Complex of Old Sippy, " in which Jeeves manages, with the usual aplomb, to help one of Bertie's bumbling pals win the hand of the woman he loves.
Unsurprisingly, this Wodehouse book contains short stories in which Wooster and his friends get helped out with their problems by the Gentleman's man-servant, Jeeves. The style is, of course, the same as the other Wodehouse-books I've read, and that is not a bad thing. Unfortunately I didn't find this particular collection quite as funny as the two preceding Jeeves-books, and at times everything became a little too predictable. Still a decent read, but far from my favourite Wodehouse.
