The first volume of Wodehouse's brilliant complete and unabridged short stories. Originally a semi-novel, this version contains self-contained stories which are nonetheless linked, often by Bingo Little, an endearingly hopeless chap and a serial romancer: 1. Jeeves Exerts the Old Cerebellum 2. No Wedding Bells For Bingo 3. Aunt Agatha Speaks Her Mi...

Michael Hordern stars as Jeeves with Richard Briers as Bertie in this BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation.

Right Ho, Jeeves sees Bertie Wooster blithely attempting to assume the role of Jeeves himself as a matters-of-the-heart adviser. Very unwise: from Gussie Fink-Nottle's romance with Madeline Bassett, to Tuppy Glossop and his stop/go engagement to Angela Travers, the young master succeeds only in making a bally mess of everyone's love-lives. Toss int...

A typically shambolic and hilarious romp from the inimitable Jeeves and Wooster, who find themselves embroiled in college initiation rites in this story of students, aunts and three rather irate cats. Throw into the heady mix of comedic fancy a luncheon appointment with Sir Roderick, and the scene is set for a farcical showdown of epic proportions....

The first fully recognizable Jeeves and Bertie story.
