“Very Good, Jeeves!” by P.G. Wodehouse

On my recent visit to the library, I came across a series of books and stories by P.G Wodehouse.

P.G. Wodehouse created Jeeves, the valet/butler/servant to one Bertie Wooster (Bertram Wilberforce Wooster).  Jeeves has become one of the most familiar and enduring fictional characters in publishing history.

Jeeves was first introduced to readers in 1915 and appeared in short stories and novels for the next 59 years.

Jeeves is well known for his brilliant mind, keen sense,  and calm demeanor which enables him to extract his foppish and rich employer from many a tight (and hilarious) situation.  Bertie is a bungler whereas Jeeves is always in full control and precise in all his moves.

The contrast between the two main characters is what makes these stories so delightful.  “Very Good, Jeeves! is the perfect bit of fluff to round out a summer full of reading enjoyment.

Many of the Jeeves stories and books are available at amazon.com as both Ebook for Kindle and hardbound.  But, visit our local library and borrow a copy. You ‘ll be surprised at what else you may discover among the shelves.
