Miljoonien rakastamat hahmot Bertie Wooster ja palvelijansa Jeeves ovat tuttuja sekä P. G. Wodehousen kirjoista että niistä tehdystä tv-sarjasta. Tarinoiden päähenkilö on uusavuton, katastrofialtis mutta hyväsydäminen Bertie, jonka elämä koostuu suureksi osaksi perin mutkikkaista kommelluksista. Niistä selviäminen edellyttää yleensä vähintään syvällistä pähkäilyä ja oppineita kirjallisuussitaatteja, mutta viime kädessä useimmiten Bertien neuvokasta herrasmiespalvelija Jeevesiä. Tällä kertaa Bertie palaa vastoin aiempia aikomuksiaan Totleigh Towersiin, mistä hän on aiemmin miltei joutunut vankilaan ja mikä pahempaa, likipitäen avioliiton kahleisiin Madeline Bassettin kanssa. Kauhealta kohtalolta Bertien on pelastanut vain lapsuudenystävä Gussien ja Madelinen venkoileva suhde. Mutta nyt Madeline pakottaa Gussien luopumaan tämän rakastamasta liha-munuaispiiraasta ja ryhtymään kasvisdieetille, jolloin Bertie on taas vaaravyöhykkeellä. Kun tähän soppaan lisää neiti Stiffy Byngin pyrkimykset voittaa kihlatulleen pastori Pimeä Pinkerille papinvirka, Sir Watkyn Bassettin ja Tom-sedän kilvoittelu taideteoksesta sekä amerikkalaisen Emerald Stokerin vastustamattomat kulinaariset viehtymykset, seuraa sotku, jonka vain Jeeves voi selvittää. Voi, Jeeves!

The Little Warrior is an amusing English comedy classic by P. G. Wodehouse that tells a story of the stage in America, the refuge of an American girl who has lost her fortune and broken her engagement in London. The dialogue is in the most up-to-date slang and wit of the day.
Originally published as a serial in Chums under the pseudonym of Basil Windham, The Luck Stone is thoroughly Wodehouse with his trademark sticky situations, quirky characters, sly humour and wit, and of course, his renowned prose. All written in the form of a letter to a friend, this dark and suspenseful plot will never fail to disappoint
First published in 1956, this collection of articles covers Wodehouse's feelings on United States, his adopted homeland all collected into one edition. Features a collection of articles originally from Punch magazine as well as America, I Like You, all with Wodehouse's usual wit and personality
This is a tactful book - there are no shocking revelations - but an extremely amusing one, with vivid portraits of such stars as Gertrude Lawrence and insights into febrile life behind the scenes.
This early novel, written in collaboration with a friend, is a fascinating curiosity which suggests that Wodehouse might have become a very different, experimental sort of writer, had he continued to write in the same vein. Using multiple narrators, playing with literary stereotypes and identities, it tells the story of an aspiring young writer, James Orlebar Cloyster, prepared to do almost anything, first for success and then for gratification. By making Cloyster a mild, affable young man of the sort so familiar in his later novels, Wodehouse creates a comic disparity between the character’s lofty professions of virtue and his unscrupulous behaviour. As the story progresses, we realise that he is not unusual: all the main characters are unscrupulous in one way or another, ready to cheat and lie in pursuit of their ends, hence the title of the book. Not George Washington contains many fine scenes, and Cloyster’s narrative displays the calm mastery of story-telling Wodehouse had already made his own. If awkwardly executed, it is cleverly plotted, springing several surprises along the way. Clearly autobiographical in origin, it also invites readers to reflect on the nature of talent, fame, failure and success, villainy and honour - themes which continued to recur in the author’s work for another sixty years.

In this series of letters to William Townend, a fellow-writer and friend since their schooldays at Dulwich College, Wodehouse discusses in some detail his literary outlook, writing methods and constant hunt for new plots. Characteristically modest and lightly humorous in tone, the letters are nevertheless revealing of a dedicated, practical and scrupulous craftsman whose most brilliant inspirations were grounded in decades of unremitting hard work. The letters are introduced and annotated by the editor, who provided Wodehouse with the idea for one of his most famous characters, Ukridge.
