"My Man Jeeves" is a collection of short stories by P. G. Wodehouse, several of which concern two of his most beloved characters, the idle rich young English aristocrat, Bertie Wooster, and his clever and unflappable valet, Jeeves. Bertie and Jeeves, although they are minor characters, appear for the first time in "Extricating Young Gussie", which while not included in the original collection of "My Man Jeeves" is included in this collection. First appearing serially in several magazines before being published in a book in 1919, "My Man Jeeves" also contains several stories about Reggie Pepper, who was an early prototype of Wodehouse's more famous character, Bertie Wooster. Reggie appears in tales such as "Absent Treatment", where the wealthy and bored Reggie helps his hapless friend remember his wife's birthday so that she will allow him to come back home. Wodehouse rewrote many of these early stories to include Bertie and Jeeves and republished them in "Carry on, Jeeves" in 1925. This collection of nine stories exhibit the origins of Wodehouse's most famous literary creations, which would eventually solidify his reputation as one of England's greatest humorists. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

First published in the "Saturday Evening Post" from December of 1933 to January 1934, "Right Ho, Jeeves" is P. G. Wodehouse's second full-length novel, following "Thank You, Jeeves", featuring his beloved characters Bertie Wooster and his highly capable valet, Jeeves. At the outset we find Bertie returning from Cannes to discover that his old friend Gussie Fink-Nottle has been regularly visiting Jeeves to ask his advice in matters of the heart. Gussie, shy and timid, is in love with the silly, young Madeline Bassett, and is intent on courting her. Madeline is a friend of Bertie's cousin, Angela Travers, and Bertie takes it on himself to help Gussie and refuses any more advice from Jeeves in the matter. As one would expect with Bertie's involvement, hilarious mistakes and misunderstandings abound. As part of his foolish schemes, Bertie inadvertently gets Gussie drunk when he is due to hand out prizes at a school and the result is a scene hailed as one of the most comical in all of English literature. Before long Bertie admits defeat and Jeeves is implored upon to sort everyone out and fix his mess. "Right Ho, Jeeves" was an immediate critical and commercial success and is considered to this day to be one of the funniest and most entertaining of all English novels.

First published together in 1923, "The Inimitable Jeeves" is a collection of short stories by P. G. Wodehouse featuring his famous characters Bertie Wooster and his wise valet, Jeeves. The stories were previously published in magazines before being collected together and most share the common theme of Bertie's friend, Bingo Little, and his dramatic love life. The Inimitable Jeeves is the second collection of Jeeves stories, following "My Man Jeeves", published in 1919, and appearing before "Carry On, Jeeves", published in 1925. Many of Wodehouse's most popular and hilarious tales appear in this timeless collection, such as "Aunt Agatha Takes the Count", where Bertie's intimidating Aunt Agatha tries to make him marry a boring, respectable young lady; "Comrade Bingo", where Bingo shows he will do anything for his current love, including joining the Communist Party; and "The Great Sermon Handicap", where Bertie, Bingo, and others bet on the length of the sermons of local parsons, which is considered to be one Wodehouse's most entertaining stories. This popular collection from a master humorist shows why Bertie and Jeeves have remained such enduring and charming characters. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

First published serially in 1923, and later as a novel in 1924, "Leave it to Psmith" is P. G. Wodehouse's fourth and final novel starring one of his most beloved characters, the clever and witty Psmith. He is called Ronald Eustace Psmith in this installment, rather than Rupert Psmith as in previous books, likely to distinguish him from another character in the tale. Psmith has snuck himself into Blandings Castle to foil a plot to steal a very valuable diamond necklace belonging to a relative of his good friend Mike Jackson's wife, the haughty Aunt Constance. Psmith uses his wit and intelligence to uncover the dastardly scheme and thwart the would-be robbers all while employing his customary charm to flirt with lovely ladies employed in the castle. In this comical and adventurous tale Psmith manages to do it all: save the necklace from the thieves, help his friend Mike fund a new business venture, win the heart of a beautiful young lady, and talk his way into a promising new job. "Leave it to Psmith" has been adapted many times for the stage and television and continues to this day to entertain readers and audiences alike. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

Fellow-writers Ashe Marson and Joan Valentine, newly met and both in need of a change of direction, find themselves drawn to Blandings, for various reasons attempting to retrieve a scarab belonging to an American millionaire, absent-mindedly purloined by Lord Emsworth. Once within the Castle's walls, despite impersonating servants, romance cannot help but blossom; meanwhile, Freddie Threepwood, engaged to the millionaire's daughter, is worried about some incriminating letters....

Sally never would have guessed a fortune could prove such a disadvantage, until she had one.... this explains why she agrees to back a show written by her fiancé Gerald and staged by her brother, Fillmore. It seems like a good idea at the time ... but when Ginger Kemp, a rather hopeless, charming young man offers not-very-glad tidings about Gerald, the Wodehouse fun really starts.
