Wodehouse Arrow, 2008 WODEHOUSE + CECIL = A SPLENDID READING Just as we believe some actors were born to play a certain role or a singer was born to sing a specific song, I'm convinced Jonathan Cecil was born to read P. G. Wodehouse. The British accented Cecil voice delightfully inhabits the personas of Jeeves, Bertie Wooster and sundry other characters with charm, humor, and distinction. My first introduction to the talents of Cecil was with his ...             The Inimitable Jeeves23 reviews P.G. Wodehouse Arrow, 2008 The Best of the Best The Twenties produced several notable works of fiction, and right there in with the best of them is this, the most delightful of all the Jeeves and Wooster entries. Composed of a running series of short stories originally published in the Strand and Cosmopolitan magazines, "The Initimable Jeeves" achieves its distinction through the remarkable quality level of the stories combined with the ...             Enter Jeeves: 15 Early Stories (Hilarious Stories)8 reviews P. G. Wodehouse Dover Publications, 1997 Wodehouse has hit his stride Wow! It is wonderful to see the earliest prototype for Bertie in Reggie Pepper. The beginnings of the wonderful character, Jeeves. You see the earliest stories where the comedic genius of Wodehouse is in full bloom.             The World of Jeeves8 reviews P. G. Wodehouse Harper Perennial, 1989 Stories Don't Come Any Better Than This (or Any Funnier) What better introduction to the wonders of P.G. Wodehouse's writing than a collection of stories about the adventures of Bertie Wooster and his repeated rescue by Jeeves? This volume includes all the stories - thirty-three narrated by Bertie and one by Jeeves. None is less than good; most have had me laughing out loud. In addition to Bertie and Jeeves, you'll meet such memorable characters as ...             Right Ho Jeeves20 reviews Pelham Grenville Wodehouse BiblioBazaar, 2008 Very good, sir. It is rare that I derive such pleasure from a book, but Right Ho, Jeeves, gave me a delightful surprise. Not only does Wodehouse make an art of the satirical novel, but in the process wraps the reader up in the witty speech of Bertram Wooster and his strange arrangement of friends, family, and butler. Bertram, or "Bertie," as he is commonly known, stumbles through the entire novel with the idea ...             The World of Jeeves: A Jeeves and Wooster Omnibus21 reviews P.G. Wodehouse Arrow, 2008 Hilarious I haven't seen the PBS series, and only came to Wodehouse via an article in the theological/political journal First Things (of all places). Probably the only other books that made me laugh out loud were Dave Barry's "Dave Barry Slept Here" and Steve Martin's "Cruel Shoes". Wodehouse's writing is hilarious - Bertie Wooster is absurdly simple (and yet Oxford-educated), and this simplicity ...             Thank You, Jeeves (A Jeeves and Bertie Novel)9 reviews P. G. Wodehouse Overlook Hardcover, 2003 Learn your history, please This is one of the funniest of the uniformly funny Jeeves and Wooster books. The scene with Chuffy, Pauline, and Bertie in the bedroom is worth the entire price of the book. Some reviewers have objected to the use of the word "nigger" in the book. This is a British book written in 1936. The word had absolutely no negative connotations in that context at the time (the Gilbert and Sullivan ...             Very Good, Jeeves!7 reviews P.G. Wodehouse Overlook Hardcover, 2006 Jeeves & Bertie #3 Previous: Carry On, Jeeves The third and last short story collection, this volume contains some of the very best Jeeves and Bertie stories, again, stand-alone and unrelated. My favorite in this collection-and my favorite short story overall-is the brilliant Jeeves and the Impending Doom. Not only is the plot wonderfully eccentric, Jeeves manages to get in a very subtle jab at Bertie's ...             Much Obliged, Jeeves3 reviews P.G. Wodehouse, The Overlook Press Overlook Hardcover, 2004 Great Fun in the Master's Inimitable Style P.G. Wodehouse was ninety years old when he published this, the second-to-last of the Bertie and Jeeves novels. Despite Wodehouse's advanced age, he managed to fill this book, also published as Jeeves and the Tie That Binds, with the sparkle and fun that characterizes all the Bertie and Jeeves novels. There is, of course, the usual cast. In addition to Bertie and Jeeves, Aunt Dahlia is ...             Carry On, Jeeves31 reviews P.G. Wodehouse Arrow, 2008 A Capital Collection This volume of ten stories originally hails from 1925. I read them in the 1999- 2000 Penguin paperback edition. While many readers like the covers by Ionicus on earlier Penguin paperbacks, these recent editions with covers by David Hitch are my favorites. They are very well done, reasonably priced and just the right size, which is to say, perfect for the novice or seasoned Wodehouse reader. The ...             Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit5 reviews P. G. Wodehouse Overlook Hardcover, 2002 Hilarity for Anglophiles P.G. Wodehouse writes in a Dave Barry meets Agatha Christie style which makes you laugh out loud. P.G. Wodehouse was Agatha Christie's favourite author for a good reason. He gives you a visit to England in 1930 (or thereabouts) and plots with every twist you can imagine. In this one, Bertie, the upperclass twit, gets himself into the usual fix, and Jeeves finds a way out. The plot carries you ...             Jeeves and the Mating Season (Audio Editions)7 reviews P. G. Wodehouse Audio Partners, 2003 Delightful Do yourself a big favor and disregard the ill tempered blighter that gave this CD a poor review because of Cecil's reading...he preferred Davidson. Amazing! Yawn..... Cecil is brilliant and far better in his interpretations than most others. A master of his art. A sensational deal too! Hear for yourself.             How Right You Are, Jeeves11 reviews P.G. Wodehouse Touchstone, 2000 Classic Wodehouse Although a prolific writer, PG Wodehouse was most remembered for his characters Betram Wooster (or just Bertie), and his unflappable butler Jeeves (who seems to be a constant fountain of wisdom, and is usually extricating Bertie from the latest mess he's found himself in. The plot is somewhat complicated to explain. When Jeeves goes on vacation, Bertie is invited to his aunt's country estate. ...             Jeeves Takes Charge2 reviews P.G. Wodehouse Recorded Books, 2001 "Very Good, Sir. Thank You, Sir" -- Jeeves If you do not know the Jeeves stories, you are in for a wonderful treat. If you do, your appreciation will grow with the witty reading in this unabridged audio cassette version. This is a series of short stories that make for nice listening and are just the right length for short car trips. I found myself sitting in front of the store or in my garage several times laughing and smiling as a ...             P.G. Wodehouse : Five Complete Novels (The Return of Jeeves, Bertie Wooster Sees It Through, Spring Fever, ...11 reviews P.G. Wodehouse Wings, 1983 Unexpected Results of a Marital Tontine and a Trio Tango! Fans of P.G. Wodehouse often refer to Jeeves as a butler, but as Bertie Wooster reminds us, Jeeves is actually a gentleman's gentleman, a valet. But on occasion, Jeeves is pressed into service as a butler, and performs quite well. Imagine the surprise that many P.G. Wodehouse fans have when they open The Butler Did It and find that the butler in question is a Mr. Augustus Keggs, the English ...             Ring For Jeeves4 reviews P.G. Wodehouse Overlook Hardcover, 2004 Jeeves & (No) Wooster Sometimes when you read a novel, you want a searing look at the human condition or a sprawling epic crossing generations. At other times, you want complete fluff, light entertainment that makes you feel good while offering little real substance. In this field of whimsical words, few can outshine P.G. Wodehouse, and rarely is Wodehouse better than when he writes of Bertie Wooster, the dim but ...             My Man Jeeves and Other Early Jeeves Stories P. G. Wodehouse Digireads.com, 2007 "My Man Jeeves and Other Early Jeeves Stories" is a collection of short stories concerning P. G. Wodehouse's most beloved character, Jeeves. This collection brings together all the stories found in the book "My Man Jeeves" as well as four other early stories.

Wodehouse Touchstone, 2000 The Funniest Assigned Reading I've Ever Had 'Jeeves & The Tie That Binds' was assigned reading for a college 'Humor in Lit' class. As so often happened to me in college, I managed to get through the class without doing the assigned reading. What a mistake! A week ago I happened to pick 'Jeeves & The Tie That Binds' up off of my bookshelf. I rarely so much as chuckle when reading, but P.G. Wodehouse's bumbling Bertie Wooster and ...             My Man Jeeves8 reviews Pelham Grenville Wodehouse BiblioBazaar, 2008 clean surface and sleek condition the book is in excellent, in fact, perfect, shape, and has a beautiful feel to it--the contents are the usual brilliant Jeeves and Wooster humor!             Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit1 review P. G. Wodehouse BBC Audiobooks America, 2007 World of Wodehouse dutifully rendered Enter the world of Wodehouse and you are entering not only a bygone era but a fanciful rendition of a bygone era. Needless to say, Wodehouse in whatever story he tells is comic fun at its best. Bertie and Jeeves are perhaps the pinnacle of his acheivement. How then, to take it from the imagination of the printed page and render it in spoken form? This reader does an extremely fine job of it. ...              search for books bertie, binds, butler, charge, complete, early, editions, enter, feudal, fever, hilarious, inimitable, jeeves, mating, novels, obliged, omnibus, other, reliable, return, right, season, spirit, spring, stories, thank, through, upper, wodehouse, wooster books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
