June 2012 Guest Editor Joanne Harris on The Inimitable Jeeves...
One of my perennial comfort reads. After all these years in print, still as surprisingly witty and fresh as a Noel Coward musical.
The Lovereading view...
A collection of stories about Wodehouse's terrifically funny Jeeves and Wooster. A marvellous introduction if you have never read any and a joyous reminder if it has been some time since you escaped in to their world.
Jeeves and Wooster are a case-in-point of chalk and cheese coexisting to make an enduring partnership of sublime comedy. Hapless, though always engaging, Bertie Wooster would be lost without his 'man' Jeeves, to advise him, not only on sartorial good taste but, crucially, to be on hand to rescue the young master from a variety of social and romantic entanglements. Immortalised on-screen by Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie - and on the Broadway stage by Martin Jarvis himself - the duo have won the hearts, minds and laughter of generations since the first Jeeves story was published in 1916. STORY LISTINGS: 1. Jeeves Exerts the Old Cerebellum 2. No Wedding Bells for Bingo 3. Aunt Agatha Speaks Her Mind 4. Pearls Mean Tears 5. The Pride of the Woosters is Wounded 6. The Hero's Reward 7. Introducing Claude and Eustace 8. Sir Roderick Comes to Lunch 9. A Letter of Introduction 10. Startling Dressiness of a Lift Attendant 11. Comrade Bingo 12. Bingo Has a Bad Goodwood Martin Jarvis is an award-winning actor renowned for his readings of P.G. Wodehouse.
