Requirements: ePUB or AZW3 Reader | 6.0 Mb | Version: Retail
Overview: The author of almost a hundred books and the creator of Jeeves, Blandings Castle, Psmith, Ukridge, Uncle Fred and Mr Mulliner, P. G. Wodehouse was born in 1881 and educated at Dulwich College. After two years with the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank he became a full-time writer, contributing to a variety of periodicals. In addition to his novels and short stories, he wrote lyrics for musical comedies, and at one point had five shows running simultaneously on Broadway. At the age of 93, in the New Year’s Honours List of 1975, Wodehouse received a long-overdue Knighthood, only to die on Valentine’s Day, 45 days later.
"The gold standard of English wit. There is not, and never will be, anything to touch him"—Christopher Hitchens
"It’s dangerous to use the word genius to describe a writer, but I’ll risk it with him"—John Humphrys
"Mr Wodehouse’s idyllic world can never stale. He will continue to release future generations from captivity that may be more irksome than our own. He has made a world for us to live in and delight in"—Evelyn Waugh
Genre: Fiction > Classics, Humour
The Jeeves Omnibus, Vol. 1
"It beats me why a man of his genius is satisfied to hang around pressing my clothes and what not," says Bertie. "If I had Jeeves’s brain I should have a stab at being Prime Minister or something." Luckily for us, Bertie Wooster manages to retain Jeeve’s services through all the vicissitudes of purple socks and policeman’s helmets, and here, gathered together for the first time, is an omnibus of Jeeves novels and stories comprising three of the funniest books ever written: Thank You, Jeeves, The code of the Woosters and The Inimitable Jeeves.
The Jeeves Omnibus, Vol. 2
Jeeves may not always see eye to eye with Bertie on ties and fancy waistcoats, but he can always be relied on to whisk his young master spotlessly out of the soup (even if, for tactical reasons, he did drop him in it in the first place). The paragon of Gentlemen’s Personal Gentlemen shimmers through these fat pages in much the same way as he did through the first Jeeves Omnibus. This volume contains one brilliant collection of short stories and two hilarious novels: Right Ho, Jeeves, Joy in the Morning and Carry On, Jeeves.
The Jeeves Omnibus, Vol. 3
"There are aspects of Jeeves’s character which have frequently caused coldness to arise between us. He is one of those fellows who, if you give them a thingummy, take a what-d’you-call-it."—BERTRAM WOOSTER
This volume, containing The Mating Season, Ring for Jeeves and Very Good, Jeeves, gives bumper opportunities for both thingummies and what-d’you-call-its in plots as devious and situations as funny as any in Wodehouse.
The Jeeves Omnibus, Vol. 4
Bertie may be in danger of having his spine severed in five places by that jealous gorilla G. D’Arcy (Stilton) Cheesewright, but, as Jeeves insists, the priorities still have to be observed. And so, thanks to Jeeves, they are throughout this bumper volume, whatever mayhem may be loosed upon the befuddled head and generous heart of Bertram Wilberforce Wooster. Gathered in this volume are three of Wodehouse’s hilarious Jeeves and Wooster novels: Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit, Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves and Jeeves in the Offing.
The Jeeves Omnibus, Vol. 5
Poor Bertie is in the soup again, and throughout this latest omnibus it is only Jeeves who keeps him from being the fish and the main course as well. In these delightful pages you will encounter all the stalwarts who have made the Jeeves novels and short stories the pinnacle of English humour, from Aunts Agatha and Dahlia to Roderick Spode, Tuppy Glossop, Madeline Bassett, Oofy Prosser and Anatole the Chef. At the end even Augustus the cat has come to be much obliged to Jeeves.
This volume contains Much Obliged, Jeeves, Aunts Aren’t Gentlemen and the short stories ‘Extricating Young Gussie’, ‘Jeeves Makes An Omelette’ and ‘Jeeves and the Greasy Bird’.
