The lives of Bertram Wooster and his manservant Jeeves are full of broken engagements and misunderstood conversations. Innocently simple schemes to help former classmate win the heart of a beloved seem destined to fail before they start, as meddling family members and misguided enthusiasm prevail. But the high hopes of Jeeves and Wooster never fail as they meet every situation with a renewed and genuine cheerfulness. The characters that P.G. Wodehouse created in the Jeeves and Wooster stories are two of the greatest, and best known, in literature. Set in Britain during the last hurrah of the aristocracy, Wodehouse used Jeeves and Wooster to tell widely appealing stories about this transitional time in history.
