Jeeves and Wooster

This set collects six comic novels about the idle young man Bertie Wooster and his valet Jeeves, who extracts him from social disasters. Typical machinery includes formidable aunts, unsuitable engagements, country-house weekends, and friends such as Gussie Fink-Nottle who cannot manage their own affairs. The volumes include Thank You, Jeeves, Right Ho, Jeeves, The Code of the Woosters, Joy in the Morning, The Mating Season, and Ring for Jeeves, the last of which loans Jeeves to another employer while Bertie is otherwise occupied. Each book is a self-contained farce of manners in interwar England, driven by plot complication and Jeeves's calm rearrangements.
