JEEVES & BERTIE WOOSTER STORIES & NOVELS
The benign and brilliant P.G. Wodehouse, one of the greatest writers in the English language,
invented these superb, hilarious stories told in the voice of Bertie Wooster -- a hapless, good-natured, slightly-dim yet
eloquent Englishman from an aristocratic family that includes the domineering, supercilious Aunt Agatha (who "eats broken glass for breakfast")
and the booming-voiced Aunt Dahlia, who is brusque but also kind to Bertie in her sporting, hearty way.
Most of Bertie's escapades begin with demands from Aunts, or requests for help from chums with awkward finances or
difficult romances ... which lead to strange mishaps, mistaken assumptions, inner turmoils and dilemmas, and elaborate schemes
devised by Bertie and his chums. When all goes wrong, the brilliant Jeeves (Bertie's sagacious, Spinoza-reading valet & caretaker)
anticipates, circumvents, and solves these knotty problems, to everyone's relief.
If you're looking for good literature that will lift your spirits, put the twists & turns of fate (& the ups & downs of people)
into bearable perspective, entertain you, edify you, and make you laugh out loud, these books are truly worth a try!

Starring Stephen Fry as Jeeves and Hugh Laurie as Bertie Wooster.
These episodes are based on stories from the books above. Although not entirely true to the original plots & characters, they still are fun to watch. Hugh Laurie & Stephen Fry are great comedians, true Wodehouse fans, & are also novelists, themselves.
