P.G. Wodehouse Books Overview

My Man Jeeves

Jeeves my man, you know is really a most extraordinary chap. So capable. Honestly, I shouldn’t know what to do without him. On broader lines he’s like those chappies who sit peering sadly over the marble battlements at the Pennsylvania Station in the place marked ‘Inquiries.’ You know the Johnnies I mean. You go up to them and say: ‘When’s the next train for Melonsquashville, Tennessee?’ and they reply, without stopping to think, ‘Two forty three, track ten, change at San Francisco.’ And they’re right every time. Well, Jeeves gives you just the same impression of omniscience…
. In _My Man Jeeves,_ affable, indolent Bertie Wooster and his precise, capable valet, Jeeves the ever cool and capable gentleman’s gentleman Jeeves who pulls hapless Wooster’s fat from the fire time and again weave themselves through a series of delightful adventures. But the adventures are almost beside the point: what the Jeevs stories are about is the relationship between these two men of very different clas*ses and temperaments. Where Bertie is impetuous and feeble, Jeeves is cool headed and poised. A motley clutch of buffoons accompanies Jeeves’s accounts of Wooster’s misunderstandings, gaffes, and backfiring plans. This collection includes ‘Leave It to Jeeves,’ ‘Jeeves and the Unbidden Guest,’ ‘Jeeves and the Hard Boiled Egg,’ ‘Absent Treatment,’ ‘Helping Freddie,’ ‘Rallying Round Old George,’ ‘Doing Clarence a Bit of Good,’ and ‘The Aunt and the Sluggard.’ ‘Mr. Wodehouse’s idyllic world can never stale.’ Evelyn Waugh

The Inimitable Jeeves / Jeeves

The Inimitable Jeeves gathers a group of loosely related stories originally published in the smart magazines of the 1920s like The Strand and Cosmopolitan. These stories find wealthy airhead Bertie Wooster and his save the day butler Jeeves at their comic best. Many of the stories involve Bertie’s equally distracted pal Bingo Little, who doubles Jeeves workload by getting in and out of countless momentary love affairs and scheming to get his uncle to increase his allowance. The cast expands with witty appearances by Bertie s nettlesome cousins, Claude and Eustace; a duplicitous bookmaker named Steggles; and of course Bertie s beloved battleaxe Aunt Agatha, who s determined that Bertie must marry and she would prefer to pick the bride, thank you. Martin Jarvis expertly impersonates these whimsical characters, making The Inimitable Jeeves one of the funniest additions to Wodehouse s canon of audio books.

Carry On, Jeeves

One of literature’s most celebrated fictional duos, lovable fop Bertie Wooster and his clever valet Jeeves, take center stage in these hilarious tales. In the first four, Jeeves saves Bertie from some serious scrapes involving stolen manuscripts, unfortunate engagements, marital scandals, and jailbird friends. The other four find Bertie exiled to 1920s New York, where Jeeves rescues him from American aunts, visiting Brits, poetic chumps, and femme fatales. ‘Jeeves Takes Charge’ is chronologically the first in the series, telling how the canny valet entered Wooster’s life. ‘Jeeves and the Unbidden Guest’ expands the canvas to include Bertie’s young cousin who goes wild under his wing. ‘The Rummy Affair of Old Biffy,’ ‘Clustering Round Young Bingo,’ and ‘The Artistic Career of Corky’ are variations on the Wodehousian theme of dastardly rascals who scheme to take advantage of Bertie’s hopeless naivete. The author’s witty wordplay, eccentric characters, and incisive comedics are well served by Martin Jarvis’s pitch-perfect performance.

Very Good, Jeeves!

P G Wodehouse is recognised as the greatest English comic writer of the twentieth century. His characters and settings have entered our language and our mythology. Launched on the twenty fifth anniversary of his death, the ‘Everyman Wodehouse’ will eventually contain all the novels and stories, edited and reset. Each ‘Everyman’ volume will be the finest edition of the master ever published. ‘Very Good Jeeves!’ 1930 is a collection of eleven short stories starring Bertie Wooster in eleven alarming predicaments from which he has to be rescued by his peerless gentleman’s gentleman. Whether Bertie is tangling with a red headed ball of fire such as Roberta Wickham, dealing with an irate headmistress, placating a rampaging aunt, 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 Wodehousian comedy.

Thank You, Jeeves

Bertie’s enthusiastic banjolele playing inspires his neighbors to have him evicted and it’s even enough to move his able butler to give notice. But the two aren’t parted for long: Bertie moves to a cottage on Baron Chuffnell’s country estate, and ‘Chuffy’ naturally hires the now available Jeeves for himself. To Bertie’s surprise, Chuffy is also hosting an American millionaire and his fetching daughter, Pauline, who once was engaged to Bertie. When her father decides that Bertie must make an honest woman of Pauline, even though she only has eyes for Chuffy, the millionaire holds Bertie captive on his yacht. Thank goodness Jeeves is there to aid in Bertie’s escape by disguising him although the disguise leads to more trouble for Bertie, particularly with the local police. Fortunately, Jeeves just might have a solution that will fix everything. Jonathan Cecil brings to his reading of this lively tale years of experience in delivering Wodehouse’s works to the writer’s many fans.

Right Ho, Jeeves / Brinkley Manor

a bit about it: Returning from Cannes after several weeks with his Aunt Dahlia Travers, her daughter Angela, and Angela’s friend Madeline Bassett, Bertie is informed that Gussie Fink Nottle has been a frequent caller. And not for Bertie’s company, it turns out rather, to consult with Jeeves in matters of the heart. Gussie is in love with Madeline and has decamped from Hampshire to the metrop to court her. Jeeves advises him to accept her invitation to a fancy dress ball, wearing a Mephistopheles costume. When Gussie muddles it by forgetting the address, his cabfare, and his latchkey, Bertie decides that Jeeves has lost his form, and takes on Gussie’s case. Meanwhile, Bertie’s aunt summons Bertie down to Brinkley Court to fill in for an ailing curate and distribute the prizes at Market Snodsbury Grammar School. He demurs, and finding that Madeline will be one of a house party there, sends Gussie in his stead. But when Aunt Dahlia tells him that Angela has broken off her engagement to Bertie’s old school friend Tuppy Glossop, he realises that his place is at her side, and goes to Brinkley. Jeeves has advised the young master that the way to reconcile the young couples is to ring the fire bell in the night, on the theory that the men will rush to rescue their beloveds, and tearful apologies will naturally follow. Bertie and Dahlia too take this as a further sign of Jeeves losing his grip. Instead, Bertie instructs Gussie to lay off the breakfast meats in order to convince Madeline that he pines for her. Seizing on this idea, he also instructs Tuppy to push away his plate untasted at dinner to similarly convince Angela, and as well Dahlia to soften up Uncle Tom for a touch to make up what she lost on the roulette wheel at Cannes. Unfortunately, the stream of untouched plates returning to the kitchen sends Anatole into a rage, and he gives his notice. Undaunted, Bertie attempts to address Gussie’s inability to propose to Madeline, as well as his terror at the prospect of speaking a few short words at the prize giving. He discovers that Gussie never takes anything stronger than orange juice, and devises a scheme to spike his beverage with something that will give him courage. Unfortunately, when the hour comes, Gussie has already inflicted the same cure on himself. Bertie’s plenty, on top of a dose administered by Jeeves and the ill advised cargo already sloshing around in that brilliantly lit man’s interior, affects Gussie in a spectacular fashion. He proposes to Madeline, ticks off Tom Travers properly, and delivers the speech to end all speeches at prize giving, which ends in a nasty scene. After his shameful performance, Madeline promptly returns Gussie to store, and he responds by immediately proposing to and being accepted by Angela. Tuppy, having been suspicious that another man had misappropriated Angela’s affections, now has confirmation, and sets off to disembowel Gussie with his bare hands.

The Code of the Woosters

To dive into a Wodehouse novel is to swim in some of the most elegantly turned phrases in the English language. Ben SchottFollow the adventures of Bertie Wooster and his gentleman’s gentleman, Jeeves, in this stunning new edition of one of the greatest comic novels in the English language. When Aunt Dahlia demands that Bertie Wooster help her dupe an antique dealer into selling her an 18th century cow creamer. Dahlia trumps Bertie’s objections by threatening to sever his standing invitation to her house for lunch, an unthinkable prospect given Bertie’s devotion to the cooking of her chef, Anatole. A web of complications grows as Bertie’s pal Gussie Fink Nottle asks for counseling in the matter of his impending marriage to Madeline Bassett. It seems Madeline isn’t his only interest; Gussie also wants to study the effects of a full moon on the love life of newts. Added to the cast of eccentrics are Roderick Spode, leader of a fascist organization called the Saviors of Britain, who also wants that cow creamer, and an unusual man of the cloth known as Rev. H. P. ‘Stinker’ Pinker. As usual, butler Jeeves becomes a focal point for all the plots and ploys of these characters, and in the end only his cleverness can rescue Bertie from being arrested, lynched, and engaged by mistake!

Joy in the Morning / Jeeves in the Morning

Bertie desperately wants to avoid the rural town of Steeple Bumpleigh, where his fearsome Aunt Agatha and her husband Lord Worplesdon Uncle Percy live, along with Bertie’s ex fianc e Florence Cray and her troubled younger brother. Nonetheless, Jeeves talks Bertie into visiting his Uncle Percy and mayhem ensues: Florence s younger brother accidentally sets fire to the cottage where Bertie is to stay, but Uncle Percy accuses Bertie of arson. Florence is now betrothed to ‘Stilton’ Cheesewright, an old school chum of Bertie’s who is now a town constable and when Florence threatens to ditch him, he decides Bertie’s up to no good. Meanwhile, Bertie promises Cousin Nobby to talk to Uncle Percy, who won’t accept her engagement to a young writer. Can Bertie reconcile the family? Only Jeeves can help him weather the storm. P.G. Wodehouse first introduced the upper class twit, Bertie Wooster, and his astonishing valet, Jeeves, in a 1915 short story entitled ‘Extricating Young Gussie.’ Many more stories and full length novels followed. Whereas Bertie s appraisals of a given predicament are often feeble and impetuous, Jeeves possesses great aplomb and common sense, married to a cool intelligence and ability to express himself with precision and economy.

The Mating Season

When Bertie Wooster visits Deverill Hall pretending to be Gussie Fink Nottle he finds himself in trouble. To begin with, there is the case of Esmond Haddock, JP, the squire of King’s Deverill, and his surging sea of Aunts. Then there is the problem with ‘Corky’ Pirbright, Constable Dobbs and the dog. Complicating Matters further, Esmond is in love with Corky, and Esmond’s cousin Gertrude with Corky’s brother, but the aunts have forbidden both unions. And, as if that were not enough, Gussie arrives in person pretending to be Bertie. There is only one person who can save Bertie from a fate worse than death so naturally, Jeeves materializes at Deverill pretendting to be someone else. All quite clear? This is another hilarious Wodehouse romp!

Ring for Jeeves / The Return of Jeeves

The only Jeeves story in which Bertie Wooster makes no appearance, involves Jeeves on secondment as butler and general factotum to William Belfry, ninth Earl of Rowcester pronounced Roaster. Despite his impressive title, Bill Belfry is broke, which may explain why he and Jeeves have been working as Silver Ring bookies, disguised in false moustaches and loud check suits. All goes well until the terrifying Captain Brabazon Biggar, big game hunter, two fisted he man and saloon bar bore, lays successful bets on two outsiders, leaving the would be bookies three thousand pounds down and on the run from their creditor. Ring For Jeeves is the story of their misadventures as they attempt to evade the incandescent Captain, combined with Bill’s attempt to sell his crumbling mansion to rich American widow, Rosalinda Spottsworth who just happens to be Brabazon Biggar’s former flame…

Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit

‘When Jeeves came in with the shaker, I dived at it like a seal going after a slice of fish and drained a quick one, scarcely pausing to say ‘Skin off your nose.’ The effect was magical. Wooster the timid fawn became in flash Wooster the man of iron will, ready for anything.’ But Bertie Wooster is under attack Jeeves disapproves of his new moustache and ‘Stilton’ Cheesewright is threatening to tear him from limb from limb. Will Jeeves display the feudal spirit as crisis dawns?

Jeeves in the Offing / How Right You Are, Jeeves

Fans of P. G. Wodehouse’s comic genius are legion, and their devotion to his masterful command of hilarity borders on obsession. Overlook happily feeds the obsession with four more antic selections from the master. Blandings Castle is a collection of tales concerning Lord Emsworth and the Threepwood clan, while Jeeves in the Offing finds Bertie Wooster in yet another scrape with the peerless Jeeves out of sight, on vacation! Poor Bertie nearly becomes unstuck! Young Men in Spats is Wodehouse at his most sparkling: stories concerning members of the inimitable Drones Club they may be small of brain and short on cash but they are always good for ingenious adventures. And in The Luck of the Bodkins, the action spans London, New York, Hollywood, and several transatlantic liners, as three dapper young men find themselves in various Wodehousian predicaments concerning their love lives and finances. Each volume has been reset and printed on Scottish cream wove, acid free paper, sewn and bound in cloth. These novels are elegant and essential additions to any Wodehouse fan’s library.

Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves

Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse wrote more than a hundred books and at least twenty film scripts, and he collaborated on more than thirty plays and musical comedies with the likes of George Gershwin, Cole Porter, and Irving Berlin. Best known as the creator of Jeeves the impossibly wise, supremely well mannered gentleman’s gentleman and Wooster his unflaggingly affable but bumbling employer Wodehouse invokes the very British spirit of a bygone era in a gentle satire that, as Evelyn Waugh puts it, ‘satisfies the most sophisticated taste and the simplest.’ In Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves, fate conspires to draw Bertie Wooster back to Totleigh Towers, the site of an earlier ordeal that nearly landed our hero in prison and, worse still, in continuing danger of marriage to Madeline Bassett, the svelte and sadly syrupy daughter of the house. Only one thing stands between Bertie and the dreaded state of matrimony, and that is his good friend Gussie Fink Nottle, lover of newts and Madeline Bassett. So long as Gussie and Madeline continue to profess their undying love for each other, Bertie is safe…
but disaster looms when Gussie rebels at Madeline’s attempt to turn him into a vegetarian. Throw in the intrigues of Miss Stiffy Byng and her dog Bartholomew to gain the Reverend Stinker Pinker a vicarage, the renewed rivalry of art collectors Sir Watkyn Bassett and Bertie’s Uncle Tom, and the irresistible cooking skills of American Emerald Stoker who happens to be the younger sister of Bertie’s old friend Pauline, whom he also narrowly avoided marrying, and you have trouble of the sort that only Jeeves can mend. In other words, here is a classic version of one of the great plots of the English language from the Master himself.

The World of Jeeves

What better introduction to the wonders of P.G. Wodehouse’s writing than a collection of stories about the adventures of Bertie Wooster and his repeated rescue by Jeeves? This volume includes all the stories thirty three narrated by Bertie and one by Jeeves. None is less than good.

Much Obliged, Jeeves / Jeeves and the Tie That Binds

A Bertie and Jeeves classic, featuring the Junior Ganymede, a Market Snodsbury election, and the Observer crossword puzzle.

Jeeves, who has saved Bertie Wooster so often in the past, may finally prove to be the unwitting cause of this young master’s undoing in Jeeves and the Tie that Binds. The Junior Ganymede, a club for butlers in London’s fashionable West End, requires every member to provide details about the fellow he is working for. When information is inadvertently revealed to a dangerous source, it falls to Jeeves to undo the damage.

Aunts Aren’t Gentlemen / The Cat-Nappers

A tome of well mannered high comedy, from the ‘unrivaled master of the comedy of manners’ Entertainment Weekly In Aunts Aren’t Gentlemen Bertie Wooster withdraws to the village of Maiden Eggesford on doctor’s orders to ‘sleep the sleep of the just and lead the quiet Martini less life.’ Only the presence of the irrepressible Aunt Dahlia shatters the rustic peace. A classic the last book written by Woodhouse featuring Bertie and Jeeves. With each volume edited and reset and printed on Scottish cream wove, acid free paper, sewn and bound in cloth, Aunts Aren’t Gentlemen and the rest of the Wodehouse novels published by the Overlook Press are elegant additions to any Wodehouse fan’s library.

Something Fresh

This is a Blandings novel. This is the first Blandings novel, in which P.G. Wodehouse introduces us to the delightfully dotty Lord Emsworth, his bone headed younger son, the Hon. Freddie Threepwood, his long suffering secretary, the Efficient Baxter, and Beach the Blandings butler. As Wodehouse wrote, ‘without at least one impostor on the premises, Blandings Castle is never itself’. In ‘Something Fresh‘ there are two, each with an eye on a valuable scarab which Lord Emsworth has acquired without quite realizing how it came into his pocket. But of course things get a lot more complicated than this…

Summer Lightning / Fish Preferred

At Blandings Castle, Lord Emsworth’s brother Sir Galahad Threepwood is penning his memoirs, much to the horror of his overbearing sister, Lady Constance, who fears salacious tales of his salad days will shame the family. She convinces Baxter, Lord Emsworth s former secretary, to return to Blandings to steal the memoirs. Also at the Castle is Ronnie Fish, who s hoping to get money from Emsworth in order to marry his chorus girl sweetie, Sue. But the best laid schemes of memoir stealing and marriage funding gamely go awry. Not one to be easily deterred, Ronnie secretly kidnaps Lord Emsworth s prize pig in order to claim the reward. Baxter, though, is certain that Emsworth s current secretary has stolen the pig as a sort of porcine job insurance. Soon, Blandings is awash in private detectives, broken engagements, and mistaken identities. Martin Jarvis nimble reading adds to the hilarity of this classic Wodehouse farce.

Heavy Weather

A perfect storm is brewing over Blandings Castle. As Lord Emsworth battles to prevent a pig napping, Lord Tilbury lurks, desperate to filch Gally Threepwood’s sensational memoirs, and those formidable sisters, Julia and Constance, will stop at nothing to sabotage the nuptials of Ronnie Fish and his chorus girl sweetie, Sue. Also in the mix are Parsloe Parsloe, Monty Bodkin, Percy Pilbeam, and a very confused Beach the butler, drawn into events by a heady cocktail of loyalty and self interest. Surely the storm will peter out and the thunder roll away but what will it leave in its wake? Heavy Weather is P.G. Wodehouse at his most magical, so expect sunshine and even a rainbow or two as both the skies and the confusion clear. Martin Jarvis inhabits this masterpiece of cross purposes with dazzling vocal dexterity, adding another laugh out loud performance to his many Wodehouse readings.

Blandings Castle and Elsewhere

Fans of P. G. Wodehouse’s comic genius are legion, and their devotion to his masterful command of hilarity borders on obsession. Overlook happily feeds the obsession with four more antic selections from the master. Blandings Castle is a collection of tales concerning Lord Emsworth and the Threepwood clan, while Jeeves in the Offing finds Bertie Wooster in yet another scrape with the peerless Jeeves out of sight, on vacation! Poor Bertie nearly becomes unstuck! Young Men in Spats is Wodehouse at his most sparkling: stories concerning members of the inimitable Drones Club they may be small of brain and short on cash but they are always good for ingenious adventures. And in The Luck of the Bodkins, the action spans London, New York, Hollywood, and several transatlantic liners, as three dapper young men find themselves in various Wodehousian predicaments concerning their love lives and finances. Each volume has been reset and printed on Scottish cream wove, acid free paper, sewn and bound in cloth. These novels are elegant and essential additions to any Wodehouse fan’s library.

Lord Emsworth and Others / The Crime Wave at Blandings

A collection of stories in which familiar characters and places are reintroduced in unfamiliar circumstances, reminding us if we need reminding of their author’s limitless powers of comic invention. In the title story one of Wodehouse’s longest and best shorter fictions Lord Emsworth takes his revenge on his ghastly secretary, the Efficient Baxter, setting off a wave of similar reprisals at Blandings Castle with amazing results. In other tales we meet several members of the Drones Club, while the final three reunite us with the ineffable Ukridge, more of whose over optimistic schemes for making easy money come to grief. A delightful meeting with old friends for some readers, a superb introduction to the world of Wodehouse for others.

Full Moon

Despite marriage to a millionaire’s daughter and success as a vice president of Donaldson s Inc., manufacturers of the world famous Donaldson s Dog Joy, Freddie Threepwood, Lord Emsworth s younger son, still goes in fear of his aunts when at Blandings Castle. Full Moon tells the story of how he faces them down while promoting the love of Bill Lister and Prudence Garland. A charming Blandings comedy with a full Wodehouse complement of aunts, pigs, millionaires, colonels, imposters and dotty earls.

Pigs Have Wings

On the 25th anniversary of Wodehouse’s death, booksellers and readers will be cheered to find the finest editions available of his classic novels the first in a series of his best known works by one of the greatest English comic writers of our time. Fans devoted to the master of comic fiction P. G. Wodehouse are legion. He represents an antic high point in the world of farce and social satire. Best known for the creation of two fictional worlds based on Blandings Castle and the Wooster Jeeves gentleman valet duo, Wodehouse is appreciated the world over for his exceedingly clever and comically savvy send ups of the idle rich in Edwardian England. Pigs Have Wings takes us to Blandings Castle, where a romantic comedy unfolds alongside the intrigue of the Fat Pig competition in Shropshire. With each volume edited and reset and printed on Scottish cream wove, acid free paper, sewn and bound in cloth, these novels are elegant additions to any Wodehouse fan’s library.

Galahad at Blandings / The Brinkmanship of Galahad Threepwood

Launched on the twenty fifth anniversary of his death, the Overlook Wodehouse will eventually contain all the novels and stories, edited and reset. Each Overlook volume will be the finest edition of the master ever published…
and we’re over two thirds of the way there! In Galahad at Blandings, Lord Emsworth’s idyllic demesne, Blandings Castle, is as usual overrun with overbearing sisters, overefficient secretaries, and the lovestruck; even worse, an alleged old flame has appeared, determined to put an end to the Earl’s peaceful, pig loving existence. All Galahad’s genius is required to sort things out satisfactorily.

A Pelican at Blandings

With his overbearing sister, Lady Constance, and the ill tempered Alaric, Duke of Dunstable, about to descend upon Blandings Castle, Lord Elmsworth calls in his brother, Sir Galahad Threepwood, for moral support. But when Dunstable shows up with a controversial portrait of a nude woman, Blandings erupts in chaos. Every eccentric guest seems to want the painting, and for very different reasons Wilbur Trout because it looks like his ex wife, and Lord Elmsworth because it’s a ringer for his pet pig! How in the world will Gally sort this mess out?

Sunset at Blandings

This is Wodehouse’s last, unfinished chronicle of Blandings and includes a treasure trove of detailed notes on the final stages of the plot, enabling us to watch over his shoulder to observe the master at work. The revels at Blandings Castle are now ended but, as Richard Usborne confirms delightedly, its cloud capped towers shall not dissolve. Although written when Wodehouse was ninety three, the pages of ‘Sunset at Blandings‘ remain ‘funny, fresh, young in heart and full of hammocks, sunshine and four pairs of lovers headed for altars.’

Imperial Blandings

This ‘Blandings’ omnibus, starring the further exploits of the Earl of Emsworth and his acquaintances, contains ‘Pigs with Wings’, ‘Full Moon’ and ‘Service With a Smile’.

Meet Mr. Mulliner

A stalwart of ‘The Angler’s Rest’, where he is usually to be found in company with Miss Postlethwaite the barmaid, Mr. Mulliner has an endless supply of brothers, nephews and cousins who feature in the tales with which he entertains the regulars in his favorite pub. There is George, the stammerer, who finds the courage to propose only after being chased by a mob; Wildred, the chemist, who muddles his cosmetic portions with dire results; Lancelot, the film star; William, the lover of Myrtle Banks; Clarence, the society photographer; and Augustine, the curate, who saves his bishop from disgrace at the school reunion. All win through to love and success, but only after enough farcical mishaps to supply a dozen ordinary comic novelists.

Mr. Mulliner Speaking

At the Angler’s Nest, Mr. Mulliner tells his amazing tales. Here you can discover what happened to The Man Who Gave up Smoking, and experience the dreadful Unpleasantness at Bludleigh Court.

Mulliner Nights

Overlook is proud to present four more antic selections from comic genius, P.G. Wodehouse. A Damsel in Distress is an early novel about the aristocratic Marshmoreton family a precursor to the Blandings series. Leave It to Psmith is a comedy adventure involving crime and gunplay, and Mulliner Nights is a series of stories about the inimitable Mr. Mulliner. Meanwhile, Lord ‘Chuffy’ Chuffnell borrows the services of Jeeves in Thank You, Jeeves.

The World of Mr. Mulliner

Mr Mulliner, raconteur par excellence of the Anglers Rest, has some amazing stories to relate. Take, for example, young Lancelot. He is a bohemian or was, until he had to look after his saintly uncle’s cat Webster, and was startlingly transformed.

The Luck of the Bodkins

Fans of P. G. Wodehouse’s comic genius are legion, and their devotion to his masterful command of hilarity borders on obsession. Overlook happily feeds the obsession with four more antic selections from the master. Blandings Castle is a collection of tales concerning Lord Emsworth and the Threepwood clan, while Jeeves in the Offing finds Bertie Wooster in yet another scrape with the peerless Jeeves out of sight, on vacation! Poor Bertie nearly becomes unstuck! Young Men in Spats is Wodehouse at his most sparkling: stories concerning members of the inimitable Drones Club they may be small of brain and short on cash but they are always good for ingenious adventures. And in The Luck of the Bodkins, the action spans London, New York, Hollywood, and several transatlantic liners, as three dapper young men find themselves in various Wodehousian predicaments concerning their love lives and finances. Each volume has been reset and printed on Scottish cream wove, acid free paper, sewn and bound in cloth. These novels are elegant and essential additions to any Wodehouse fan’s library.

Bachelors Anonymous

Much married, much divorced movie mogul Ivor Llewellyn friend of Monty Bodkin, and his long suffering lawyer Ephraim Trout, find the idea of a support group for bachelors appealing. The members can watch each other’s backs, keeping them safe from roving females. With spring in the air, however, romance is never far behind…
OneMr. Ephraim Trout of Trout, Wapshott and Edelstein, one of the many legal firms employed by Ivor Llewellyn, head of the Superba Llewellyn studio of Llewellyn City, Hollywood, was seeing Mr. Llewellyn off at the Los Angeles airport. The two men were friends of long standing. Mr. Trout had handled all Mr. Llewellyn’s Eve divorces, including his latest from Grayce, widow of Orlando Mulligan, the Western star, and this formed a bond. There is nothing like a good divorce for breaking down the barriers between lawyer and client. It gives them something to talk about’I shall miss you, I.L.,’ Mr. Trout was saying. ‘The old place won’t seem the same without you. But I feel you are wise in transferring your activities to London.’Mr. Llewellyn felt the same. He had not taken this step without giving it consideration. He was a man who, except when marrying, thought things over.’The English end needs gingering up,’ he said. ‘A couple of sticks of dynamite under the seat of their pants will do those dreamers all the good in the world.”I was not thinking so much,’ said Mr. Trout, ‘of the benefits which will no doubt accrue to the English end as of those which you yourself will derive from your London visit.”You get a good steak in London.”Nor had I steaks in mind. I feel that now that you are free from the insidious influence of California sunshine, the urge to marry again will be diminished. It is that perpetual sunshine that causes imprudence.’At the words ‘marry again’ Mr. Llewellyn shuddered strongly, like a blancmange in a high wind.’Don’t talk to me about marrying again. I’ve kicked the habit.’…

The Clicking of Cuthbert / Golf Without Tears

P. G. Wodehouse, one of the greatest humorists ever in the English language, is best known for his frolicsome, side splitting novels featuring Bertie Wooster and his steadfast butler Jeeves. However, Wodehouse was a golf fanatic never a great player, but his devotion to the links was unending. His love for the game, and for the people afflicted with the addiction to it, was expressed periodically over the years in his short fiction, and Golf Without Tears was his first collection of golf stories.

These stories are linked by a common narrator, and all concern themselves with love specifically, the gaining or losing of love via the infuriating game of golf. Mr. Cuthbert Banks, who recently won the French Open, can’t get his beloved Adeline to so much as look his way, as she is a literary type, more smitten with the local bad author. But when a famous Russian novelist comes to lecture the literary society, and wants nothing to do with Adeline’s bad author, but heaps praise upon the golfer Cuthbert, Adeline’s heart warms to him, and all is right in the world.

One golfer loses his fiance when he take up golf late in life and just can’t stop thinking about the game on the eve of his wedding. The fiance, needless to say, is glad to leave him to his golf. One golfing woman attempts to kill with her niblick her golfing husband, who just won’t stop talking during the game. He survives, and is cured of his garrulousness. Other loves succeed or fail, steered by the vagaries of that tiny little white ball.

These stories will amuse and gladden all golfers, and also will entertain those unfortunate enough to have fallen in love with a golfer.

The Heart of a Goof / Divots

It was a morning when all of nature shouted ‘Fore!’ ‘If ever comic writing captured the joy of doing the long twelfth at Auchtermuchtie in one under bogey, here it is. Wodehouse keeps his eye on the ball and never presses, his clear shots to the emerald fairway leaving lesser writers to hunt furiously in the long rough, chewing their niblicks and snapping their spoons. Once you have begun them, you will go through Wodehouse’s classic golf stories like a bullet through a cream puff. They are sheer, kick up your heels bliss.’ Lynne Truss.

Mike

Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse, KBE 1881 1975 was a comic writer who has enjoyed enormous popular success for more than seventy years.

Leave it to Psmith

A full cast of Wodehouse creations including tyrannical relatives, beastly acquaintances, demon children, and literary fatheads return for further near catastrophes and sparkling comedy Overlook is proud to present four more antic selections from comic genius, P.G. Wodehouse. A Damsel in Distress is an early novel about Belpher Castle, the idyllic home of the aristocratic Marshmoreton family and a precursor to the Blandings series. Leave it to Psmith is a comedy adventure involving crime and gunplay, all set into motion by an umbrella in the Drones Club and Mulliner Nights is a series of stories about the inimitable Mr. Mulliner, his extraordinary relations, and the tipsy bishops, angry baronets, lady novelists, and haughty dowagers who frequent the bar parlor of the Angler’s Rest. Meanwhile, Lord Chuffy’ Chuffnell borrows the services of Jeeves in Thank You, Jeeves, while pursuing the love of his life, but when he finds out that Jeeves’s employer, Bertie Wooster, was once engaged to Pauline himself, fearsome complications develop.

Mike and Psmith / Enter Psmith

In Evelyn Waugh’s book _Decline and Fall_ his hero, applying for a post as a schoolmaster, is told by the agent, ‘We class schools in four grades leading school, first rate school, good school, and school.’ Sedleigh in Mike and Psmith would, I suppose, come into the last named class, though not quite as low in it as Mr. Waugh’s Llanabba. It is one of those small English schools with aspirations one day to be able to put the word ‘public’ before their name and to have their headmaster qualified to attend the annual Headmaster’s Conference. All it needs is a few more Adairs to get things going. And there is this to be noted, that even at a ‘school’ one gets an excellent education. Its only drawback is that it does not play the leading schools or the first rate schools or even the good schools at cricket. But to Mike, fresh from Wrykyn a ‘first rate school’ and Psmith, coming from Eton a ‘leading school’ Sedleigh naturally seemed something of a comedown…

The Pothunters

‘This robbery of the pots is a rum thing,’ said Vaughan, thoughtfully, when the last shreds of Plunkett’s character had been put through the mincing machine to the satisfaction of all concerned. ‘Yes. It’s the sort of thing one doesn’t think possible till it actually happens.’ ‘What the dickens made them put the things in the Pav. at all? They must have known it wouldn’t be safe.’ ‘Well, you see, they usually cart them into the Board Room, I believe, only this time the governors were going to have a meeting there. They couldn’t very well meet in a room with the table all covered with silver pots.’ ‘Don’t see why.’ ‘Well, I suppose they could, really, but some of the governors are fairly nuts on strict form. There’s that crock who makes the two hour vote of thanks speeches on Prize Day. You can see him rising to a point of order, and fixing the Old ‘Un with a fishy eye.’ ‘Well, anyhow, I don’t see that they can blame a burglar for taking the pots if they simply chuck them in his way like that.’ ‘No. I say, we’d better weigh in with the Livy. The man Ward’ll be round directly. Where’s the dic? AND our invaluable friend, Mr. Bohn? Right. Now, you reel it off, and I’ll keep an eye on the notes.’ And they settled down to the business of the day.

It was not so much that you sympathised and encouraged where you really came out strong was that you gave me the stuff. I like people who sympathise with me. I am grateful to those who encourage me. But the man to whom I raise the Wodehouse hat owing to the increased cost of living, the same old brown one I had last year it is being complained of on all sides, but the public must bear it like men till the straw hat season comes round I say, the man to whom I raise this venerable relic is the man who gives me the material. Sixteen years ago, my William, when we were young and spritely lads; when you were a tricky centre forward and I a fast bowler; when your head was covered with hair and my list of ‘Hobbies’ in Who’s Who included Boxing; I received from you one morning about thirty closely written foolscap pages, giving me the details of your friend ‘s adventures on his Devonshire chicken farm. Round these I wove as funny a plot as I could, but the book stands or falls by the stuff you gave me about ‘Ukridge’ the things that actually happened.

Uncle Fred in the Springtime

‘I don’t know if you happen to know what the word ‘excesses’ means, but these are what Pongo’s Uncle Fred, when in London, invariably commits.’ When the dastardly Duke of Dunstable plots to steal Lord Emsworth’s pig, Empress of Blandings, the wily Uncle Fred aka the Earl of Ickenham is called in to thwart him. To that end, the earl arrives at Blandings Castle under false pretences, posing as pompous ‘loony doctor’ Sir Roderick Glossop, accompanied by two other imposters, one of them the unfortunate Pongo; a bookie turned private detective; an angry sixteen stone poet; a suspicious dancing secretary, and Lord Emsworth’s pink faced heir who will keep pointing his gun in the wrong direction. In other words: business as usual in Wodeshouse’s enchanted England.

Uncle Dynamite

A chance meeting on a train brought together Lord Ickenham and Bill Oakshott although being told that the love of his life, Hermoine, was engaged to none other than Pongo did make Bill feel as though he’s been struck behind the ear. And with the usual amount of stirring goings on at Ashenden Manor that include biffings and black eyes and ducklings in duck ponds is there any chance that it will ever work out for poor Bill?

Co*cktail Time

If Lord Ickenham had not succumbed to the temptation to dislodge the hat of irascible QC, Beefy Bastable, with a well aimed Brazil nut, the latter’s famous legal mind might never have been stimulated to literature. But the incident provoked Beefy to write his expose of the younger generation, a novel so shocking that it caused endless repercussions for its hapless author and sparked off a series of outrageous misunderstandings. And it seems that only the inventive talents of Lord Ickenham himself might resolve matters.

Service with a Smile

Turmoil strikes once more at Blandings Castle. Lord Emsworth finds his idyllic home overrun not only with the local Church Lad’s Brigade, but also the curmudgeonly old Duke of Dunstable and publishing magnate and fellow pig-lover Lord Tilbury. Both are scheming to get their hands on Emsworth’s peerless pig, Empress of Blandings, and meanwhile, star-crossed lovers battle the iron will of Lady Constance Keeble. Fortunately, Uncle Fred is also on hand to sort things out in this timeless installment from the master of comic farce, classically narrated by Martin Jarvis.

In many ways, the Strollers’, though not the most magnificent, is the pleasantest club in New York. Its ideals are comfort without pomp; and it is given over after eleven o’clock at night mainly to the Stage. Everybody is young, clean shaven, and full of conversation: and the conversation strikes a purely professional note. Everybody in the room on this July night had come from the theater. Most of those present had been acting, but a certain number had been to the opening performance of the latest better than Raffles play. There had been something of a boom that season in dramas whose heroes appealed to the public more pleasantly across the footlights than they might have done in real life. In the play that had opened to night, Arthur Mifflin, an exemplary young man off the stage, had been warmly applauded for a series of actions which, performed anywhere except in the theater, would certainly have debarred him from remaining a member of the Strollers’ or any other club. In faultless evening dress, with a debonair smile on his face, he had broken open a safe, stolen bonds and jewelry to a large amount, and escaped without a blush of shame via the window. He had foiled a detective through four acts, and held up a band of pursuers with a revolver. A large audience had intimated complete approval throughout.

Philosophers among them would possibly have meditated on the limitations of human effort; for they had done their best for Mrs Ford. They had housed her well. They had fed her well. They had caused inspired servants to anticipate her every need. Yet here she was, in the midst of all these aids to a contented mind, exhibiting a restlessness and impatience of her surroundings that would have been noticeable in a caged tigress or a prisoner of the Bastille. She paced the room. She sat down, picked up a novel, dropped it, and, rising, resumed her patrol. The clock striking, she compared it with her watch, which she had consulted two minutes before. She opened the locket that hung by a gold chain from her neck, looked at its contents, and sighed. Finally, going quickly into the bedroom, she took from a suit case a framed oil painting, and returning with it to the sitting room, placed it on a chair, and stepped back, gazing at it hungrily.

Piccadilly Jim

The residence of Mr. Peter Pett, the well known financier, on Riverside Drive is one of the leading eyesores of that breezy and expensive boulevard. As you pass by in your limousine, or while enjoying ten cents worth of fresh air on top of a green omnibus, it jumps out and bites at you. Architects, confronted with it, reel and throw up their hands defensively, and even the lay observer has a sense of shock. The place resembles in almost equal proportions a cathedral, a suburban villa, a hotel and a Chinese pagoda. Many of its windows are of stained glass, and above the porch stand two terra cotta lions, considerably more repulsive even than the complacent animals which guard New York’s Public Library. It is a house which is impossible to overlook: and it was probably for this reason that Mrs. Pett insisted on her husband buying it, for she was a woman who liked to be noticed. Through the rich interior of this mansion Mr. Pett, its nominal proprietor, was wandering like a lost spirit. The hour was about ten of a fine Sunday morning, but the Sabbath calm which was upon the house had not communicated itself to him. There was a look of exasperation on his usually patient face, and a muttered oath, picked up no doubt on the godless Stock Exchange, escaped his lips.

A Damsel in Distress


A Damsel in Distress is a novel by P. G. Wodehouse, first published in the U.S. on October 4, 1919 by George H. Doran, New York, and in the U.K. by Herbert Jenkins, London, on October 17 1919. It had previously been serialised in The Saturday Evening Post, between May and June that year.

Golf loving American composer George Bevan falls in love with a mysterious young lady who takes refuge in his taxicab one day; when he tracks her down to a romantic rural manor, mistaken identity leads to all manner of brouhaha…


The story was made into a silent, black and white movie in 1919, and an R.K.O. musical in 1937 . ‘ Quote from wikipedia. org

About the Author

‘Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse, KBE 15 October 1881 14 February 1975 was a comic writer who enjoyed enormous popular success during a career of more than seventy years and continues to be widely read over 30 years after his death. Despite the political and social upheavals that occurred during his life, much of which was spent in France and the United States, Wodehouse’s main canvas remained that of prewar English upper class society, reflecting his birth, education, and youthful writing career.

An acknowledged master of English prose, Wodehouse has been admired both by contemporaries such as Hilaire Belloc, Evelyn Waugh and Rudyard Kipling and by modern writers such as Douglas Adams, Salman Rushdie and Terry Pratchett. Sean O’Casey famously called him ‘English literature’s performing flea’, a description that Wodehouse used as the title of a collection of his letters to a friend, Bill Townend.’ Quote from wikipedia. org

Excerpt: CHAPTER V WHEREIN OPPOSITES AGREE maid who opened the door showed a reluctance to A let Bailey in. She said that Mrs. Porter was busy with her writing and had given orders that she was not to be disturbed. Nothing could have infuriated Bailey more. He, Bailey Bannister, was to be refused admittance because this preposterous woman wished to write. It was the duty of all decent citizens to stop her writing. If it had not been for her and her absurd books Ruth would never have made it necessary for him to pay this visit at all. ‘Kindly take my card to Mrs. Porter and tell her that I must see her at once on a matter of the utmost urgency,’ he directed. The domestic workers of America had not been trained to stand up against Bailey’s grand manner. The maid vanished meekly with the card, and presently returned and requested him to step in. Bailey found himself in a comfortable room, more like a man’s study than a woman’s boudoir. Books lined the walls. The furniture was strong and plain. At the window, on a swivel chair before a roll top desk, Mrs. Porter sat writing, her back to the door. ‘The gentleman, ma’am,’ announced the maid. ‘Sit down,’ said his aunt, without looking round or ceasing to write. The maid went out. Bailey sat down. The gentle squeak of the quill pen continued. Bailey coughed. ‘I have called this morning ‘ The left hand of the writer rose and waggled itself irritably above her left shoulder. ‘Aunt Lora,’ spoke Bailey sternly. ‘Shish!’ said the authoress. Only that…

Sam the Sudden / Sam in the Suberbs

Not-so-fresh off the tramp steamer from America, Sam Shotter settles in the sleepy suburb of Valley Fields. His pastoral peace is short-lived, however, when Soapy Molloy, Dolly the Dip, and Chimp Twist arrive on the scene looking for two million dollars they seem to have mislaid in the vicinity. Not only does Sam discover he’s living right bang next door to the girl of his dreams, but he’s sitting, rather embarrassingly, on a goldmine. Some rather superior sleuthing will be required.

The Small Bachelor

What must a man do in order to put an end to his bachelorhood? For George Finch, one of nature’s white mice and probably the worst artist ever to put brush to canvas, there are many obstacles. Undoubtedly the greatest is his beloved Molly’s fearsome stepmother, Mrs. Waddington, who has her eye on an eligible English lord for a son in law. Luckily, George has an ally in sharp witted Hamilton Beamish, an old family friend of the Waddingtons, not to mention George’s butler, Mullett, and his light fingered girlfriend, Fanny, whose valuable skills are of particular interest to the would be father in law. REVIEW: Wodehouse is the greatest comic writer ever. Douglas Adams

Money for Nothing

In the sleepy village of Rudge in the Vale the customary peace has been shattered by an outbreak of hostilities between Colonel Wyvern and Lester Carmody of Rudge Hall. To make matters worse, Lester’s nephew John adores the Colonel’s daughter Pat, and this conflict is certain to disrupt the smooth course of true love.

Big Money

The extraordinary Overlook Wodehouse series continues, with Big Money, one of Wodehouse’s most irresistible comic tales. When Lord Biskerton bearing only the beginnings of a mustache and a noble distain for work, and his friend Berry Conway, who sadly succumbed to economic pressure to become the secretary to American millionaire T. Paterson Frisby, seek Ann Moon, Frisby’s beautiful niece and heiress for their mutual betterment, the results are unforgettable.

Doctor Sally

When Bill Bannister meets Dr Sally Smith, love blossoms immediately. Unfortunately there is just the small problem of Lottie Higginbotham, former actress, serial bride and human fireball, with whom Bill is already involved. The well meaning interference of Bill’s old friend, Squiffy Tidmouth, once married to Lottie, only complicates matters further, until everything is straightened out in a series of comic encounters at Bill’s ancestral home and everyone lives happily ever after.

Hot Water

The house party at Chateau Blissac, Brittany, features a rather odd array of guests this year…
Mr J. Wellington Gedge is hoping for some peace and quiet while his wife takes herself off for a while. She, however, has invited numerous visitors to the chateau, to whom he will have to play reluctant host. Senator Opal and his daughter are expected, and so is the chateau’s handsome owner Vicomte de Blissac. When a certain letter goes missing, landing the Senator in the proverbial Hot Water, it’s up to Packy Franklyn, a great pal of the Vicomte’s, to sort out the mess. Unfortunately, this involves a little safe cracking.

Laughing Gas

A Hollywood child star and an English aristocrat exchange souls while under ether at the dentist and the result is mayhem. Though his golden curls and sweet expression make him the idol of mothers throughout America, Joel Cooley is a tough nut who wants nothing more than to revenge himself on the agents, directors, and producers who make his life a misery, before escaping back to Ohio. When his soul is transplanted in the body of an English earl with a boxing Blue he has the chance to ‘poke them all in the snoot.’ Lord Havershot, meanwhile finds himself under the thumb of the fierce Miss Brinkmeyer and terrorized by the boy stars Joey has supplanted. The result is Anglo American farce with the lightest of touches, and another hilarious Wodehouse romp!

Summer Moonshine

Quick Service

In Quick Service a complicated chain of events is set into motion after Mrs. Chavender takes a bite of breakfast ham, and readers are reminded that disaster can be averted if you Ring for Jeeves. Bertie Wooster avoids Madeleine Bassett in Much Obliged, Jeeves, at Blandings Castle, in Uncle Fred in the pringtime, Uncle Fred is asked to foil a plot to steal a prize pig.

Spring Fever

SPRING HAD come to New York, the eight fifteen train from Great Neck had come to the Pennsylvania terminus, and G. Ellery Cobbold, that stout economic royalist, had come to his downtown office, all set to prise another wad of currency out of the common people. It was a lovely morning, breathing of bock beer and the birth of a new baseball season, and the sap was running strongly in Mr. Cobbolds veins. He looked like a cartoon of Capital in a labor paper, but he felt fine. It would not have taken much to make him break into a buck and wing dance, and if he had had roses in his possession it is more than probable that he would have strewn them from his hat. Borne aloft in the elevator, he counted his blessings one by one and found them totting up to a highly satisfactory total. The boil on the back of his neck had yielded to treatment. His golf handicap was down to twenty four. His son Stanwood was in London, safely removed from the wiles of Miss Eileen Stoker of Beverly Hills, Cal. He was on the point of concluding remunerative deals with the Messrs. Simms and Weinstein of Detroit and the Consolidated Nail File and Eyebrow Tweezer Corporation of Scranton, Pa. And a fortunate glance at Debretts Peerage that morning had reminded him that tomorrow was Lord Shortlands birthday. He floated lightly into the office and found Miss Sharples, his efficient secretary, there, right on the job as always, and a mass of torn envelopes in the wastepaper basket told him that she had attended to his correspondence and was all ready to give him the headline news. But though that correspondence almost certainly included vital communications from both Simms and Weinstein and the Nail File and Eyebrow Tweezer boys, it was the matter of Lord Shortlands natal day that claimed his immediate attention…

The Old Reliable

Following the death of Carmen Flores, the lubricious Mexican star, Adela Cork buys her Hollywood house. Hoping to escape from the domineering Adela, her brother in law Smedley, who has lived with her since losing his money, searches the house for Carmen’s legendary lost diary, in the belief that its scorching revelations about the sex life of her fellow stars will make him millions. He is helped and hindered by a safe blowing butler, a pompous movie mogul, a posse of unemployed scriptwriters, and the redoubtable Adela herself. Fortunately, Adela’s sister, ‘Bill’ Shannon, not for nothing nicknamed ‘The Old Reliable‘, is on hand to ensure a satisfactory outcome. This is a light comedy which is also a sharp satire on Hollywood mores.

Barmy in Wonderland

The Wodehouse series continues a sparkling novel from the master of hijinks and social comedy A penniless Englishman falls in love with a lively American girl, loses her, finds her again, is rejected, but finally discovers true love after many comic adventures. In Barmy in Wonderland this classic plot of 1920s musical comedy, so familiar to Wodehouse from his own stage works, becomes the basis for a brilliant satire on theatrical life. Featuring monstrous producers, vain film stars, impossible critics, temperamental actresses and a whole chorus of sharply drawn minor parts, this is one of Wodehouse’s most enticing later novels. With each volume edited and reset and printed on Scottish cream wove, acid free paper, sewn and bound in cloth, these novels are elegant additions to the legions of Wodehouse fans libraries.

French Leave

Set in the French holiday resort of Roville, this novel tells the story of Jeff, a writer. Jeff falls in love with American Terry Trent but he won’t court her because he isn’t rich and he thinks she is.

Something Fishy

A butler named Keggs who, having overheard the planning of a scheme, later decides to try and make money out of his knowledge. This title features Percy Pilbeam, the unscrupulous head of the Argus Detective Agency, who first appeared in ‘Bill the Conqueror’ 1924 and was in several other Wodehouse books, including a visit to Blandings Castle in ‘Summer Lightning’ 1929.

Ice in the Bedroom

Freddie Widgeon wants the money to buy shares in a coffee plantation in Kenya so that he can marry Sally Foster. Soapy and Dolly Molloy want to get their hands on a cache of stolen jewels hidden in the house of Freddie’s neighbour in the suburb of Valley Fields. When their paths cross, the ensuing misunderstandings lead to vintage Wodehouse comedy.

Frozen Assets / Biffen’s Millions

The ‘Frozen Assets’ of the title belong to Edmund Biffen Christopher and they are the legacy of his Godfather which he will receive if he manages to avoid been arrested, something of a previous habit of Biffen’s, until after his thirtieth birthday one week hence. Lord Tilbury, proprietor of the Mammoth publish company, whom we met previously in ‘Bill the Conqueror’, ‘Summer Lightning’ and ‘Heavy Weather’, is keen that Biffen does fall foul of the law as he will then receive the legacy himself. Tilbury has therefore engaged his usual henchman, Percy Pilbeam, to ensure that Biffen is lead astray and that it is brought to the attention of the constabulary. Only Wodehouse can scare up a happy ending where everyone gets exactly what is coming to them.

Company for Henry / The Purloined Paperweight

A zany story of eccentric characters and humorous plot twists about one man’s obsession with paperweights.

Do Butlers Burgle Banks?

P G Wodehouse is recognised as the greatest English comic writer of the twentieth century. His characters and settings have entered our language and our mythology. Launched on the twenty fifth anniversary of his death, the ‘Everyman Wodehouse’ will eventually contain all the novels and stories, edited and reset. Each ‘Everyman’ volume will be the finest edition of the master ever published. ‘Do Butlers Burgle Banks??’ 1968 features Mike Bond, the hitherto fortunate owner of Bond’s Bank, who finds himself in a spot of trouble so serious that he wants someone to burgle the bank before the trustees inspect it. Fortunately for him, Horace Appleby, currently posing as his butler, is on hand to oblige. For Horace is, in fact, not a butler at all but the best sort of American gangster, prudently concealing himself in an English country house while hiding from his rivals. Looking for peace and safety, Horace is to discover before long that the hot spots of New York are a whole lot more restful than the English countryside. This is the lightest of light comedies, a Wodehousian souffle from his later years.

The Girl in Blue

P. G. Wodehouse is recognized as the greatest English comic writer of the twentieth century. Launched on the twenty fifth anniversary of his death, each Overlook Wodehouse is the finest edition of the master’s work ever published. ‘The Girl in Blue is a miniature painting which goes missing and leaves Wodehouse s charming characters reeling and dealing to find it again.

The Man Upstairs & Other Stories

A Collection of short stories by P.G. Wodehouse, featuring the title story The Man Upstairs

There were three distinct stages in the evolution of Annette Brougham’s attitude towards the knocking in the room above. In the beginning it had been merely a vague discomfort. Absorbed in the composition of her waltz, she had heard it almost subconsciously. The second stage set in when it became a physical pain like red-hot pincers wrenching her mind from her music. Finally, with a thrill in indignation, she knew it for what it was — an insult. The unseen brute disliked her playing, and was intimating his views with a boot-heel. Defiantly, with her foot on the loud pedal, she struck — almost slapped — the keys once more. ”Bang!” from the room above. ”Bang! Bang!”

Included in this collection, read by Frederick Davidson, are eighteen more of Wodehouse’s classic pre-World War II stories: Something to Worry About, Deep Waters, When Doctors Disagree, By Advice of Counsel, Rough-Hew Them How We Will, The Man Who Disliked Cats, Ruth in Exile, Archibald’s Benefit, The Man-the Maid-and the Miasma, The Good Angel, Pots o’Money, Out of School, Three from Dunsterville, The Tuppenny Millionaire, Ahead of Schedule, Sir Agravaine, The Goal-Keeper and the Plutocrat, and In Alcala.

Wodehouse remains the greatest chronicler of a certain kind of Englishness, that no one else has ever captured quite so sharply, or with quite as much wit and affection’ Julian Fellowes. ‘Weekend Wodehouse’ required reading at country house parties in the late Thirties remains one of the best introductions to the work of PG Wodehouse. All the favourites are here: Drones Club stories, Mr Mullinger stories, and stories of Jeeves, Lord Amsworth and Ukridge.

What Ho!: The Best of P.G. Wodehouse

Published to mark the 25th anniversary of PG Wodehouse’s death, this is the first major new selection of his work to be published for a generation. This anthology of stories, novel extracts, working drafts, articles, letters and poems gives a fresh angle on the twentieth century’s greatest humourist. In his introduction, Stephen Fry writes: ‘What a very, very lucky person you are. Spread out before you are the finest and funniest words from the finest and funniest writer the past century ever knew…
Without Wodehouse I am not sure that I would be a tenth of what I am today…
He taught me something about good nature. It IS enough to be benign, to be gentle, to be funny, to be kind.’

The Best of Wodehouse

P.G. Wodehouse was, by common consent, the most brilliant writer of English comedy in the 20th century, equally celebrated on both sides of the Atlantic. He achieved the unusual distinction of combining the widest possible popularity with the highest literary standards, attracting both the devotion of readers and the respect of his peers from Hilaire Belloc to Graham Greene. Several of his characters have already entered popular mythology. This anthology includes two novels, fourteen short stories and extracts from Wodehouse’s autobiography. ‘The Code of the Woosters’ was written in 1938 when Wodehouse was at the height of his powers. The vintage plot involves Bertie Wooster attempting to steal a cream jug from a country house at the behest of his aunt Dahlia or, as Bertie himself puts it, ‘the sinister affair of Gussie Fink Nottle, Madeleine Bassett, old Pop bassett, Stiffy Byng, the Rev H.P. ‘Stinker’ Pinker, the eighteenth century cow creamer and the small, brown, leather covered notebook.’ The outcome is a dazzlingly intricate plot and a wonderfully satisfying farce. ‘Uncle Fred in the Springtime’, published in 1939, brings one of the author’s favourite characters, Uncle Fred aka Lord Ickenham, to his most celebrated comic location, Blandings Castle, where the dastardly Duke of Dunstable is again attempting to steal Lord Emsworth’s prize pig. Called in to thwart the duke, Uncle Fred poses as pompous ‘looney doctor’ Sir Roderick Glossop, with complicated results. The short stories feature all Wodehouse’s most famous creations ‘Jeeves and Wooster’, ‘Ukridge’, ‘Bingo Little’, ‘Mr Mulliner’, the ‘Earls of Emsworth’ and ‘Ickenham’. Finally, extracts from Over Seventy, a memoir as amusing and beautifully written as the novels, offer an insight into the attitudes and working habits of a very private man.

More Mystery Cats

A collection of mystery tales starring cats features the writing of mystery masters Lilian Jackson Braun, Ellis Peters, Dorothy L. Sayers, P. G. Wodehouse, and ten others.
