Carry On, Jeeves (Warbler Classics Annotated Edition)

by P. G. Wodehouse

Overview

Bertie Wooster's life is changed when the highly competent Jeeves arrives to replace Wooster's previous, thieving valet. In ten uproariously amusing tales, Jeeves quietly comes to the rescue as Wooster, his fiancé, his foppish friends, and airy aristocratic acquaintances land themselves in the soup again. Among other hullabaloo and adventure, Wodehouse's much-loved cast of characters navigate unintentional or broken engagements, orchestrate visits with ghastly friends of relatives, and scramble to avoid the consequences of not a few little white lies. This Warbler Classics edition includes an extensive biographical timeline.

About the Author

P. G. Wodehouse (1881-1975) was an English author and one of the most widely read humorists of the twentieth century. Wodehouse was prolific throughout his life, publishing more than ninety books, forty plays, two hundred short stories and other writings between 1902 and 1974. Many of his recurring characters have become fixtures of English literature, among them feckless Bertie Wooster and his sagacious valet, Jeeves; the immaculate and loquacious Psmith; and the bungling opportunist Stanley Featherstonehaugh Ukridge.

Editorial Reviews

"A comic genius recognized in his lifetime as a classic and an old master of farce."

-The Times

"It is now abundantly clear that Wodehouse is one of the funniest and most productive men who ever wrote in English. He is...an authentic craftsman, a wit and humorist of the first water, the inventor of a prose style which is a kind of comic poetry."

-Richard Voorhees

"One has to regard a man as a Master who can produce on average three uniquely brilliant and entirely original similes on each page."

-Evelyn Waugh

"An English literary comic genius."

-The Guardian
