P. G. Wodehouse’sVery Good, Jeeves! is a collection of short stories starring Bertie Wooster in 11 alarming predicaments from which he has to be rescued by his peerless gentleman’s gentleman.

Whether Bertie is tangled with a red-headed ball of fire such as Roberta Wickham, dealing with an irate headmistress, placating a cabinet minister, puncturing the wrong hot water bottle, singing “Sonny Boy,” or simply trying to concentrate on his golf handicap, Jeeves is always there to help—though rarely in ways which his employer expects. These brilliantly plotted stories give the essence of Wodehousean comedy.
