One of the earliest and most celebrated collections of stories featuring the hapless aristocrat Bertie Wooster and his loyal valet Jeeves, this volume revolves around the romantic escapades of Bertie's school friend, Bingo Little. A delightful introduction to P. G. Wodehouse's most beloved characters, these comedic masterpieces recount Bertie's reluctant involvement in Bingo's misadventures and Jeeves' remarkable ability to save his employer from every predicament. In the initial entry, Jeeves Exerts the Old Cerebellum, Bingo seeks assistance in convincing his affluent guardian to approve of his socially undesirable fiancée. Mabel, the waitress, is only the first in a series of Bingo's romantic pursuits, which include a parson's niece, a Communist, and Bertie's own fiancée—among others. Eighteen interconnected stories chronicle Bingo and Bertie's antics at home and abroad, introducing various members of the Wooster family, from the terrifying Aunt Agatha to Claude and Eustace, the fun-loving, trouble-making twins. The collection is particularly notable for the inclusion of a Wodehouse masterpiece, The Great Sermon Handicap, in which bets are placed on the duration of a Sunday oration, resulting in hilarious consequences.
