About this ebook
'My only problem with Wodehouse is deciding which of his enchanting books to take to my desert island' Ruth Dudley Edwards
'The most industrious, prolific and beneficent author ever to have sat down, scratched his head and banged out a sentence' Stephen Fry
--
'Your tea will be here in a moment, sir.'
'No, Jeeves. This is no time for tea. I must concentrate."
When his incomparable valet Jeeves suddenly resigns, how will the hapless Bertie Wooster get by?
Bertie's dedicated but somewhat untuneful playing of the banjo has driven Jeeves, his otherwise steadfast gentleman's gentleman, to give notice. Looking for respite, Bertie disappears to the country as a guest of his chum Chuffy, only to find his peace shattered by the arrival of his ex-fiancée Pauline Stoker, her formidable father and the eminent loony-doctor Sir Roderick Glossop. It seems Bertie cannot survive for long without Jeeves - and soon a situation arises which only Jeeves can solve.

I love PG Wodehouse but this particular story is problematic and would be considered offensive in this day and age as the plot hinges on dressing up in black face and the term "negro" is used frequently. Probably best to stick to other stories that showcase the Wodehouse humour.

Brilliant - funny and fast-moving from start to finish. Read it!
