    P. G. Wodehouse's short comic book, The Swoop!, or How Clarence Saved England, was originally made available in the UK on April 16, 1909, by Alston Rivers Ltd. in London. A Tale of the Great Invasion has the subtitles. The Military Invasion of America and A Remarkable Tale of the German-Japanese Invasion of 1916 were the titles of a modified and greatly condensed version that was published in the July and August 1915 issues of Vanity Fair. When the story was included in the anthology The Swoop! and Other Stories in 1979, four years after Wodehouse's passing, it was the first to be published in the United States. In The Swoop!, many armies simultaneously invade England "England was not only under the invader's heel. Nine intruders had their heels on it. There was not enough place to stand." - and makes references to a number of well-known historical personalities, including boxer Bob Fitzsimmons, writer Edgar Wallace, politician Herbert Gladstone, and actor-managers Seymour Hicks and George Edwardes. A humorous spoof on the then-popular genre of invasion novels, The Swoop! Wodehouse "reverses all expectations and changes the established pattern."

    The Man with Two Left Feet and Other Stories is a collection of short stories written by British author P. G. Wodehouse. It was originally released in the US on February 1, 1933, by A. L. Burt and Co., New York, and on March 8, 1917, in the UK by Methuen & Co., London. The Strand Magazine in the UK and The Red Book Magazine or The Saturday Evening Post in the US were the two journals where each story had previously been published. It is a compilation of various stories, some of which are more serious than Wodehouse's better-known comedy fiction. Although one humorous story, "Extricating Young Gussie," is notable for featuring two of Wodehouse's most well-known characters, Jeeves and his master Bertie Wooster (although Bertie's surname is withheld and Jeeves's role is very small), as well as Bertie's dreaded Aunt Agatha, Wodehouse biographer Richard Usborne claimed that the collection was "mostly sentimental apprentice work." Henry Pitfield Rice is a young man employed in a detective bureau. He falls in love with chorus girl Alice Weston, but she refuses to marry someone in her profession. Since he can't sing or dance, Henry tries to find a job on the stage but is unsuccessful.

    The Man Upstairs and Other Stories is an anthology of short stories written by P.G. Wodehouse. Most of the stories deal with the subject of romance and love. Majority of the stories initially got published in Cosmopolitan, Collier's Weekly, and the Strand Magazine. Later on, they were also made available to readers in the US in The Swoop! And Other Stories (1979) and The Uncollected Wodehouse (1976). The first story in the collection "The Man Upstairs", is a story about a rich man disguising himself as a middle class, untalented artist to get close to Annette, a girl he fell in love with at first sight. Following the story of a rebellious girl who is sent to a village in Hampshire by her father, "Something to Worry About" gives us a look into the psyche of Sally, a movie aficionado, who ends up experiencing a movie-like love story with Tom. Similar to The Man Upstairs, "Deep Waters" follows the story of George Barnert Callender who falls in love at first sight with Mary and pretends to not to know swimming while being an excellent swimmer, just so he could make her acquaintance.

    P.G. Wodehouse's The Inimitable Jeeves was first published in the UK on May 17, 1923. A number of short stories with the same characters were combined to create the book. It was initially intended to be a collection of stories rather than a single narrative.Everyone immediately turned to Jeeves-man Bertie's when Bertie Wooster or one of his friends found themselves in the soup or dangerously close to the tureen. He was aware of human nature, particularly that of gliding youth.Whether Bertie's cousins Claude and Eustace were playing dido or the hope of an old house had fallen in love with a waitress, Jeeves never let anyone down. He had a good mind.Jeeves was a purist, therefore the only area in which he fell short in the eyes of his master was his inability to constantly follow him in matters involving spats, socks, and ties. This was especially true in the Spring.

    'Joy in the Morning' is another novel from the wonderful series of books about Bertram Wooster and Jeeves by English humorist P.G. Wodehouse. It was first published in 1946. The novel was concluded amid the horrors of wartime Germany, and was something of a miracle, "The supreme Jeeves novel of all time." Bertie is a young gentleman of inherited means and no present occupation. He is a good-humored and well-meant chap, however, is clearly not the smartest tool in the shed. Bertie seems to have a talent for getting himself into trouble but that is where Jeeves, his loyal, educated and painfully clever butler comes to his rescue. Jeeves is irreplaceable when it comes to saving Bertie from whatever creative, complicated, and incredibly funny situations Wodehouse puts his characters through.

    First published in 1925, "Carry On, Jeeves" is P. G. Wodehouse's third collection of Jeeves and Bertie Wooster stories. All of the stories included in this volume first appeared in periodicals like the "Saturday Evening Post" including some that are reworked versions of stories that appeared in the 1919 collection "My Man Jeeves". In this volume, readers will find some of Wodehouse's most famous tales of the hapless and wealthy Bertie, his equally clueless friends, and his wise and pragmatic valet, Jeeves. The first story in the book, "Jeeves Takes Charge", introduces Jeeves to Bertie's life when he replaces his previous valet, who had been stealing from him. Many of the stories take place in New York and familiar characters, such as Aunt Dahlia, Bingo Little, Anatole, and Sir Roderick Glossop, make appearances in this collection. Wodehouse's tales are engaging, clever, laugh-out-loud funny, and enjoyably English in their sensibilities and dialogue. Jeeves, with his complicated plans and ability to solve seemingly any problem, is at his plucky best in this classic collection of Wodehouse stories. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
