I really enjoyed the comic adventures and the snappy, humorous dialogue between the two main characters - Bertie Wooster and his manservant Jeeves. I also liked the format, a series of short stories, which made it easier to start and stop. This was my first Jeeves book but I plan on going back to #1 and reading through the series! My interest in the series was piqued when I recently bought "Jeeves and the Wedding Bells" which was written as an homage to P. G. Wodehouse, several decades after theDelightful collection of stories, including Jeeves and the Yule-tide Spirit, which I have been trying to find for a couple of years!

In the vast majority of cases that was not difficult. Even if you had read a book twenty or thirty years before, it was likely you would at least have remembered having read itif not every or even any details of it. In a few rare cases I made mistakes and accidentally read a book a second time without
What a bally good book! A collection of 11 short stories consisting of assorted birds from country houses all over the English countryside, with a dash of Proletariat thrown in as well. What with the blighted Aunt Agatha and the wonderful Aunt Dahlia (the only aunt in the Wooster clan who shouldn't be locked up in an asylum) making multiple appearances, along with an intolerable uncle, wailing cousins and a couple of blighted nephews, exotic dogs, the Pyke and what not. I think, this entire
