The Jeeves Omnibus - Vol 3
The Jeeves Omnibus - Vol 3: (Jeeves & Wooster) | P.G. Wodehouse
3 posts | 1 read | 1 reading
As always, Bertie is about to find himself in the soup (or 'up to the knees in bisque') and Jeeves is poised to pull him out - quite possibly after pushing him in in the first place. In this omnibus of characteristically hilarious short stories and novels, Jeeves is for the first time shockingly employed to resolve the woes of someone other than Bertie Wooster. Contains The Mating Season, Ring for Jeeves and Very Good, Jeeves...

Ring for Jeeves:
Bertie Wooster has lent out Jeeves to Lord Rowcester, an impoverished nobleman working in disguise as a bookie.

Jeeves without Bertie Wooster doesn't really work. It doesn't help that the setting is closely tied to the early 1950s rather than a never-never land vaguely resembling the interwar period. Only for real aficionados.

rwmg The Mating Season
Bertie has to impersonate Gussie Fink-Nottle to prevent Madeline Bassett from finding out Gussie has been arrested and sent to prison.

I've read this several times but I can't find any record of it on LT so it must have been before I joined in 2006. It's still the one that sticks in my mind as the quintessential Jeeves and Wooster tale, though perhaps it's getting a bit too familiar as I didn't find it quite so funny this time.
