P. G. Wodehouse Bücher

„Eine Kollektion der Sonderklasse: Da ist Galahad Threepwood, der aristokratische Bonvivant und Anekdotenonkel, der die Verwandtschaft mit der Drohung in Schach hält, er werde seine saftigen Memoiren doch noch in Druck geben. Bruder Clarence, neunter Graf von Emsworth, begeistert sich in Ermangelung höherer intellektueller Gaben vorwiegend für seine preisgekrönte Zuchtsau, zum Befremden der scharfzüngigen Schwestern, Lady Julia Fish und Lady Constance Keeble. Doch dann gerät der gemeinsame Landsitz, Blandings Castle, erst recht in Aufruhr: Eifersuchtsszenen unter jungen Liebenden, ein Privatdetektiv auf Abwegen, Gefahr für das Prachtschwein – und zu allem Übel wird auch noch Galahads skandalschwangeres Manuskript entwendet.“

'JEEVES, I'M ENGAGED.' 'I HOPE YOU WILL BE VERY HAPPY, SIR. 'DON'T BE AN ASS. I'M ENGAGED TO MISS BASSETT Bertie is feeling most put out when he finds that his friend Gussie is seeking relationship advice from Jeeves. Meanwhile Aunt Dahlia has asked Bertie to present awards at a school prize-giving ceremony. In a stroke of genius, Bertie realises he can kill two birds with one stone, palming off his prize-giving duties to Gussie by assuring him that the object of his affections will be there. Several terrible misunderstandings later and facing chaos, Bertie turns, yet again, to Jeeves who swiftly and ingeniously saves the day.

Published to coincide with the Granada television series, this selection of episodes and stories sees Wooster in the greatest danger of being forced to tie the knot and in all of them, it is Jeeves who contrives to put the finishing touches to the schemes that test the Wooster soul.
