Follow the adventures of Bertie Wooster and his gentleman's gentleman, Jeeves, in this stunning new edition of one of the greatest comic short story collections in the English language. Whoever or whatever the cause of Bertie Wooster's consternation-Bobbie Wickham giving away his fierce Aunt Agatha's dog; getting into the bad books of Sir Roderick Glossop; attempting to scupper the unfortunate infatuation of his friend Tuppy for a robust opera singer-Jeeves can always be relied on to untangle the most ferocious of muddles. Even Bertie's.

Included in this collection are "Jeeves and the Impending Doom," "Jeeves and the Kid Clementina," "The Inferiority Complex of Old Sippy," "The Love That Purifies," "Jeeves and the Yuletide Spirit," "Jeeves and the Old School Chum," "Jeeves and the Song of Songs," "Indian Summer of an Uncle," "Episode of the Dog McIntosh," "The Ordeal of Young Tuppy," and "The spot of Art."

Very Good, Jeeves is the best of the Jeeves and Wooster short story collections - and also the last. Published in 1930 (when Wodehouse was about to turn 50), this collection represents something of a turning point. The narrative voice is more assured, the supporting characters many and varied, and the irony falls thicker and faster. They remain rich gems; only one or two are required to fill up. But there is something increasingly formulaic, so that it's not hard to see why the master decided it was time to shift his characters into novels from here on out.

(Rather than purchasing this volume, track down the omnibus The World of Jeeves which collects all the Jeeves and Wooster short stories in one.) ( )

Superb, as always! Nothing hits the spot like a touch of Jeeves & Wooster! ( )

This was definitely one of my favorite collections of the series. Maybe the outlandish situations Bertie Wooster gets himself into should be getting stale, but I'm only enjoying them more as I go. Maybe because I'm starting to get into the overall feel of the stories more? There were several moments that made me laugh out loud or at least smile; I regret that I was listening to the audiobook and couldn't make note of them at the time. Bertie fooling himself into thinking Jeeves doesn't always get his own way, though, is one such moment. I only wish I could have continued to listen to Kevin Theis, but apparently he only narrated 4 of the books. Though I still like Theis more, Jonathan Cecil was good too, excepting for the strange speech impediment he gave to Bingo Little. I can say with certainty at this point that I will listen to these audiobooks again someday. ( )

I love Jonathan Cecil's narration of Wodehouse books! It has been a long time since I read this collection in paperback but I still remembered some of the stories quite well. However, that doesn't really matter with Wodehouse. I had intended to listen to this slowly, one story a day but found that I couldn't stop listening at just one :) ( )

It was the morning of the day on which I was slated to pop down to my aunt Agatha's place at Woollam Chersey in the county of Hers for a visit of three solid weeks; and, as I seated myself at the breakfast table, I don't mind confessing that the heart was singularly heavy.
