Synopsis

When Bingo falls in love at a Camberwell subscription dance and Bertie Wooster drops into the mulligatawny, theres work for a wetnurse. Who better than Jeeves? This is the first Jeeves and Wooster story Plum ever wrote. Wodehouse weaves his wit through a wide collection of terrifying aunts, miserly uncles, lovesick friends, and unwanted fiancs. Bertie gets into a bit of trouble when one of his pals, Bingo Little, starts to fall in love with every second girl he lays his eyes on. But the soup gets really thick when Bingo decides to marry one of them and enlists Bertie's help. Luckily, he has the inimitable Jeeves to pull him out of it.

About P. G. Wodehouse

Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (1881–1975) was an English humorist who
wrote novels, short stories, plays, poems, song lyrics, and numerous pieces of
journalism. He was highly popular throughout a career that lasted more than
seventy years, and his many writings continue to be widely read. He is best
known for his novels and short stories of Bertie Wooster and his manservant
Jeeves and for his settings of English upper-class society of the pre– and
post–World War I era. He lived in several countries before settling in the United States after
World War II. During the 1920s, he collaborated with Broadway legends like Cole
Porter and George Gershwin on musicals and, in the 1930s, expanded his
repertoire by writing for motion pictures. He was honored with a knighthood in
1975.

"Oh dear, Bertie Wooster, it seems as if your servant is satirizing our style of living with the help of subtle irony and puns." Faints It´s an interesting sociocultural, epigenetic study to look at how Wodehouse had to adapt his satire to a level that was still funny and a tiny little bit controver......more

Goodreads review by Bill on February 24, 2020

The Inimitable Jeeves (1923) is the first full-length book completely devoted to Jeeves and Wooster (My Man Jeeves, only half Jeeves, featured the proto-Wooster Reggie Pepper), and my sense is that neither the gentleman’s gentleman, nor his gentleman, has reached perfection here. Jeeves is less Olym......more

That's what people mean when they're talking about English humour. And Stephen Fry's reading fits it perfectly!......more

Goodreads review by Manny on June 13, 2018

"Now you know me, Jeeves," I said. "I am no expert on what Honoria likes to call literature." "I believe I would concur in that judgement," Jeeves agreed, and I fancied I saw his left eyebrow twitch slightly. But I was not to be put off by the blighter's lack of enthusiasm. "Hang it all, Jeeves!" I co......more
