The Inimitable Jeeves, Deluxe Edition

A renowned feel-good classic of comic writing from "arguably the greatest writer of comic prose ever," gorgeous hardcover gift edition (The New York Times)

“Mr. Wodehouse’s idyllic world can never stale. He has made a world for us to live in and delight in” – Evelyn Waugh

Introducing two of the greatest characters created by the undisputed master of English comic prose, this is quite simply one of the funniest books ever written.

Whether attempting to stay on the right side of his ghastly Aunt Agatha, evade the clutches of the forbidding Honoria Glossop, or simply having a punt on the length of local curates’ sermons, Bertie Wooster can always rely on his gentleman’s gentleman, Jeeves, for sound advice and an ingenious wheeze to get him out of a tight spot.

“You don’t analyze such sunlit perfection, you just bask in its warmth and splendor.” – Stephen Fry

“Wodehouse is the funniest writer—that is, the most resourceful and unflagging deliverer of fun—that the human race, a glum crowd, has yet produced.” – The New Yorker

P. G. Wodehouse (1881-1975) is widely regarded as one of the greatest comic writers of all time. After briefly working for a bank, Wodehouse turned his hand to comic writing in his early twenties and went on to write scores of novels and hundreds of stories over his lifetime, creating many much-loved comic characters, but none more so than Jeeves & Wooster. The Inimitable Jeeves was the first novel to feature the timeless master and servant duo, and remains one of their most beloved outings.
