Synopsis

Right Ho, Jeeves is the second full-length novel to feature Wodehouse's most beloved characters, Bertie Wooster and his "gentleman's gentleman," Jeeves. This witty frolic through early 20th century English society features some of Wodehouse's very best writing and one particular scene that is considered a masterpiece of comic literature. Jeeves the mastermind has devised a clever plan by which one Gussie Fink-Nottle, a friend of idler Bertie Wooster, can win the heart of his fair lady. But when Bertie begins to meddle, disaster ensues! Throw in a formidable aunt, an ancient grammar school prize day, and a bit too much liquid cheer, and you have the formula for some of the most delightful reading you will ever encounter. It's just laugh-out-loud funny!

About this title

From the Back Cover:

A Jeeves and Wooster novel

[insert P.G. Wodehouse signature]

‘You don't analyse such sunlit perfection, you just bask in its warmth and splendour. Like Jeeves, Wodehouse stands alone.’ Stephen Fry

Gussie Fink-Nottle’s knowledge of the common newt is unparalleled. Drop him in a pond of newts and his behaviour will be exemplary, but introduce him to a girl and watch him turn pink, yammer, and suddenly stampede for great open spaces. Even with Madeline Bassett, who feels that the stars are God’s daisy chain, his tongue is tied in reef-knots. And his chum Tuppy Glossop isn’t getting on much better with Madeline’s delectable friend Angela.

With so many broken hearts lying about him, Bertie Wooster can’t sit idly by. The happiness of a pal – two pals, in fact – is at stake. But somehow Bertie’s best-laid plans land everyone in the soup, and so it’s just as well that Jeeves is ever at hand to apply his bulging brains to the problems of young love.

About the Author:

Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse(1881-1975) was an English author and one of the most widely read humorists of the 20th century. Born in Guildford, the son of a British magistrate based in Hong Kong, Wodehouse spent happy teenage years at Dulwich College, to which he remained devoted all his life. After leaving school he was employed by a bank but disliked the work and turned to writing in his spare time. His early novels were mostly school stories, but he later switched to comic fiction, creating several regular characters who became familiar to the public over the years. They include the feather-brained Bertie Wooster and his sagacious valet, Jeeves; the immaculate and loquacious Psmith; Lord Emsworth and the Blandings Castle set; the Oldest Member, with stories about golf; and Mr Mulliner, with tall tales on subjects ranging from bibulous bishops to megalomaniac movie moguls.
