P.G. Wodehouse, the master of British humor, produced dozens of books and hundreds of short stories in his long and prolific career. But none of his creations has quite captured the world's imagination as much as his bumbling, empty-headed, man-about-town Bertie Wooster and Bertie's faithful, knight-in-shining-tuxedo Jeeves. Collected here are three of Wodehouse's most beloved "Jeeves and Wooster" tales—including eight short stories from the anthology My Man, Jeeves, as well as the complete novels The Inimitable Jeeves and Right Ho, Jeeves.
