The Inimitable Jeeves

P.G. Wodehouse's The Inimitable Jeeves was first published in the UK on May 17, 1923. A number of short stories with the same characters were combined to create the book.It was initially intended to be a collection of stories rather than a single narrative.Everyone immediately turned to Jeeves-man Bertie's when Bertie Wooster or one of his friends found themselves in the soup or dangerously close to the tureen. He was aware of human nature, particularly that of gliding youth.Whether Bertie's cousins Claude and Eustace were playing dido or the hope of an old house had fallen in love with a waitress, Jeeves never let anyone down. He had a good mind.Jeeves was a purist, therefore the only area in which he fell short in the eyes of his master was his inability to constantly follow him in matters involving spats, socks, and ties.This was especially true in the Spring.
