'Possibly the funniest writer in the English language' Jay McInerney 'Quite simply, the master of comic writing' Jane Moore -- 'I want you to meet my nephew, Bertie Wooster,' said Aunt Agatha. 'He has just arrived. Such a surprise! I had no notion that he intended coming...' A collection of classic stories featuring some of the funniest episodes in the life of gentleman Bertie Wooster and his incomparable valet Jeeves. Meddling Aunt Agatha wants to see Bertie married, and nothing will stop her from playing matchmaker. The problem? Bertie has no plans to settle down. So it's up to Jeeves to find Bertie a way out of marrying the terrifying Honoria Glossop, and to help Bertie's insatiable friend Bingo Little navigate falling head-over-heels for seven different girls.

THE INIMITABLE JEEVES:- is the first of the Jeeves novels written by P.G. Wodehouse. This was the second collection of Jeeves stories, after My Man Jeeves. Often touted as a classic collection of stories, it contains some of the funniest episodes in the life of Bertie Wooster, gentleman, and Jeeves, his gentleman’s gentleman. Through characters like Bertie Wooster, Jeeves, Bingo Little, Mabel, Mortimer Little and Jane Watson, Wodehouse succeeds in creating an idyllic world. God’s in his heaven and all’s right with the world that’s what Wooster thinks but things start going wrong. Bingo Little, needs Bertie to put in a good word for him with his uncle. Bingo is in love with Mabel, a waitress, but fears his uncle won’t approve of her. Jeeves suggests a plan using romance novels to sway Bingo’s uncle. This fictionalized account carried 11 previously published stories to make it a book of 18 chapters. All of the short stories involve Bingo Little, who is always falling in love.

Michael Hordern stars as Jeeves with Richard Briers as Bertie in a BBC Radio full-cast dramatization. Just when Bertie thinks that all's right with the world, there's young Bingo Little, who's in love for the umpteenth time and needs Bertie to put in a good word for him with his uncle; Aunt Agatha, who forces Bertie to get engaged to the formidable Honoria Glossop; and friction in the Wooster home over a red cummerbund, purple socks and some snazzy old Etonian spats. Only the inimitable Jeeves can save the day.
