Synopsis

Among the earliest collections devoted to Bertie Wooster and Jeeves, this volume places much of its attention on the romantic complications of Bertie’s old school friend, Bingo Little. Across eighteen interlinked stories, Bertie finds himself unwillingly drawn into Bingo’s latest entanglements, while Jeeves repeatedly demonstrates an unnerving talent for steering his employer clear of trouble.

The opening piece, “Jeeves Exerts the Old Cerebellum”, sets the tone as Bingo seeks assistance in winning over his wealthy guardian. A succession of further predicaments follows, alongside appearances from various members of the Wooster family, including Aunt Agatha and the twins Claude and Eustace, and the collection also includes “The Great Sermon Handicap”, built around wagers on the length of a Sunday sermon. Suitable for readers who enjoy classic comic short fiction.
