    <![CDATA[Very Good, Jeeves! is a collection of short stories starring Bertie Wooster in eleven alarming predicaments from which he has to be rescued by his peerless gentleman’s gentleman.  Whether Bertie is tangled with a red-headed ball of fire such as Roberta Wickham, dealing with an irate headmistress, placating a cabinet minister, puncturing the wrong hot water bottle, singing ‘Sonny Boy’, or simply trying to concentrate on his golf handicap, Jeeves is always there to help-though rarely in ways which his employer expects.  These brilliant plotted stories give the essence of Wodehousean comedy.]]>

    <![CDATA[Very Good, Jeeves! is a collection of short stories starring Bertie Wooster in eleven alarming predicaments from which he has to be rescued by his peerless gentleman’s gentleman.  Whether Bertie is tangled with a red-headed ball of fire such as Roberta Wickham, dealing with an irate headmistress, placating a cabinet minister, puncturing the wrong hot water bottle, singing ‘Sonny Boy’, or simply trying to concentrate on his golf handicap, Jeeves is always there to help-though rarely in ways which his employer expects.  These brilliant plotted stories give the essence of Wodehousean comedy.]]>

    <![CDATA[Now with a delightful new look, two collections of stories by P. G. Wodehouse, a &quot;comic genius recognized in his lifetime as a classic and an old master of farce&quot;(<em>The Times</em> [London]) <br/><br/>In creating that incomparable pair--the lovable scamp Bertie Wooster and his unflappable valet, Jeeves--P. G. Wodehouse &quot;<em>made a world for us to live in and delight in&quot;</em> (Evelyn Waugh). This volume contains eleven stories, including &quot;Jeeves and the Impending Doom,&quot; a hilarious chronicle of a ghastly weekend at Aunt Agatha's country home; &quot;Jeeves and the Song of Songs,&quot; which features Bertie's reluctant public debut as a singer; and &quot;The Inferiority Complex of Old Sippy,&quot; in which Jeeves manages, with his usual aplomb, to help one of Bertie's bumbling pals win the hand of the woman he loves.]]>

    <![CDATA[Now with a delightful new look, two collections of stories by P. G. Wodehouse, a &quot;comic genius recognized in his lifetime as a classic and an old master of farce&quot;(<em>The Times</em> [London]) <br/><br/>In creating that incomparable pair--the lovable scamp Bertie Wooster and his unflappable valet, Jeeves--P. G. Wodehouse &quot;<em>made a world for us to live in and delight in&quot;</em> (Evelyn Waugh). This volume contains eleven stories, including &quot;Jeeves and the Impending Doom,&quot; a hilarious chronicle of a ghastly weekend at Aunt Agatha's country home; &quot;Jeeves and the Song of Songs,&quot; which features Bertie's reluctant public debut as a singer; and &quot;The Inferiority Complex of Old Sippy,&quot; in which Jeeves manages, with his usual aplomb, to help one of Bertie's bumbling pals win the hand of the woman he loves.]]>

    <![CDATA[Very Good, Jeeves! is a collection of short stories starring Bertie Wooster in eleven alarming predicaments from which he has to be rescued by his peerless gentleman’s gentleman.  Whether Bertie is tangled with a red-headed ball of fire such as Roberta Wickham, dealing with an irate headmistress, placating a cabinet minister, puncturing the wrong hot water bottle, singing ‘Sonny Boy’, or simply trying to concentrate on his golf handicap, Jeeves is always there to help-though rarely in ways which his employer expects.  These brilliant plotted stories give the essence of Wodehousean comedy.]]>

Many involve Bertie's long held desire to wreak a terrible vengeance on fellow Drones member Tuppy Glossop, for a practical joke played by Glossop on Wooster, which is referred to in many stories but never appears in a story itself.]]></body>
