Description

My Man Jeeves, first published in 1919, introduced the world to affable, indolent Bertie Wooster and his precise, capable valet, Jeeves. Some of the finest examples of humorous writing found in English literature are woven around the relationship between these two men of very different classes and temperaments. Where Bertie is impetuous and feeble, Jeeves is coolheaded and poised.

This collection, the first book of Jeeves and Wooster stories, contains eight stories, including "Absent Treatment", "Helping Freddie", "Rallying Round Old George", "Doing Clarence a Bit of Good", "Fixing It for Freddie", and "Bertie Changes His Mind".

P. G. Wodehouse main man Jeeves is the best

So much enjoyment and just entertainment. I am really impressed by Wodehouse in their time of writing. (1919 originally) This is perfect for a break from the stress of everyday to listen to any story but Jeeves he is the best and most consistent.

The narration is also great. Well worth it.

The Beginnings... Are Middling - But Worthy

This volume contains some of the earliest stories in Wodehouse's Jeeves & Wooster series (four stories mixed with four other stories starring a parallel creation, Reggie Pepper, that Wodehouse later folded into the character of Bertie Wooster). As with most authors' early work, it is an uneven journey, as Wodehouse works to get his literary feet underneath himself. But it is of great interest to see him working out his later voice, deft touch, and the marvelous plotting that characterize his more mature work.

The first few stories in the collection, though they star Jeeves and Wooster, don't quite work as well as fans of the later adventures might expect. By the time the reader arrives, however, at the last two outings ("Doing Clarence a bit of Good" [starring Reggie Pepper] and "The Aunt and the Sluggard" [finishing with J&W]) it is clear that the author has begun rounding into wonderful form ("The Aunt..." is particularly satisfying, as it cleverly turns the central conceit a bit on its head).

Mr. Prebble, as always, is a worthy reader and performs well - if a bit slowly for my tastes.

Worth reading/listening if you are interested in the beginnings of things, but don't expect the refinement and polish you've come to enjoy if you're already a Wodehouse fan.
