The World of Jeeves
The World of Jeeves: (Jeeves & Wooster) | P.G. Wodehouse
6 posts | 3 read | 4 to read
A Jeeves and Wooster Omnibus 'Jeeves knows his place, and it is between the covers of a book.' This is an omnibus of wonderful Jeeves and Wooster stories, specially selected and introduced by Wodehouse himself, who was struck by the size of his selection and described it as almost the ideal paperweight. As he wrote: 'I find it curious, now that I have written so much about him, to recall how softly and undramatically Jeeves first entered my little world. Characteristically, he did not thrust himself forward. On that occasion, he spoke just two lines. The first was: "Mrs Gregson to see you, sir." The second: "Very good, sir, which suit will you wear?" It was only some time later that the man's qualities dawned upon me. I still blush to think of the off-hand way I treated him at our first encounter...'. This omnibus contains Carry On, Jeeves, The Inimitable Jeeves, Very Good, Jeeves and the short stories 'Jeeves Makes an Omelette' and 'Jeeves and the Greasy Bird'.

Oh, there are some stories here that did not age well but as a whole, I was still able to enjoy Wooster's antics and Jeeves' genius. While these are incredibly formulaic, the way each little incident resolves is always funny and unique, which makes it easy to keep going back for more.

When life has you feeling like: 😶, it‘s time to break out the P. G. Wodehouse for a dose of Jeeves and Bertie. I think this omnibus of 34 of their adventures will get me feeling more like: 🤩 real soon.

This is the 2nd display: #classics from authors who lived in the 20th Century. I'm putting out mostly thin, quicker reads; hopefully, this'll nudge patrons to give these great titles a shot 😁👍🏻👍🏻! Like the first one, a couple of these were gone within 20 minutes. #LitsyLovesLibraries

Andrew65 I wish there was a way to enlarge some pictures! 6y
MrBook @Andrew65 I'll get some up-close ones tomorrow if I can remember. The reminders app on my phone doesn't seem to like me much 🤷🏼‍♂️🙈. 6y
Andrew65 @MrBook Thanks @MrBook I often fall out with my phone too! 😂 6y

Betty @MrBook what is that white book between Godfather and Illustrated Man? 6y
MrBook @Betty Ah! That may be why! It's Edith Wharton's "The Age of Innocence". 6y
Bradleygirl Awww. I just reshelved everything and was pleased to rediscover my nice fat Jeeves collection. 6y
Andrew65 @Betty Good point, why didn‘t I think of that! 🙈 6y

It's hard to pick a Bertie Wooster book that didn't have me in stitches. P.G. Wodehouse was my first adult comedy writer #funny books #throwbacksaturday. Bertie was my dream boyfriend rich and easily manipulated. You just have to get on Jeeves good side. I was a bit silly as a tween and these books are extremely silly 😂

Minervasbutler I'm currently immersed in a Best of Wodehouse anthology. No funnier writer ever lived imo 8y
Dragon I have to agree with you @timjulian 8y
Tammygrrrl I love Bertie and Jeeves!! 8y
Dragon @Tammygrrrl such fun characters 8y
