The World of Jeeves cover

'You don't analyse such sunlit perfection, you just bask in its warmth and splendour.' Stephen Fry

A Jeeves and Wooster Omnibus

'Jeeves knows his place, and it is between the covers of a book.'

This is an omnibus of wonderful Jeeves and Wooster stories, specially selected and introduced by Wodehouse himself, who was struck by the size of his selection and described it as almost the ideal paperweight.

'A comic master' David Walliams

'Wodehouse's idyllic world can never stale . . . A world for us to live and delight in' Evelyn Waugh

A veritable feast of comedy awaits with this delightful collection of Wodehouse stories featuring the infamous Bertie Wooster and everyone's favourite gentleman's gentleman, Jeeves.

Witness the iconic first meeting of Bertie and Jeeves and follow them as they navigate the endless scrapes that the hapless Bertie lands them in. Meet the fearsome and meddling Aunt Agatha - who would like nothing more than to see Bertie settle down - and Bingo Little - Bertie's insatiable friend who has fallen head-over-heels for seven different girls. Specially selected and introduced by Wodehouse himself - and containing the timeless classics Carry On, Jeeves, The Inimitable Jeeves and Very Good, Jeeves - there's something for everyone in this omnibus.

It's dangerous to use the word genius to describe a writer, but I'll risk it with him * John Humphrys *
A genius ... Elusive, delicate but lasting * Alan Ayckbourn *
Not only the funniest English novelist who ever wrote but one of our finest stylists * Susan Hill *
For as long as I'm immersed in a P.G. Wodehouse book, it's possible to keep the real world at bay and live in a far, far nicer, funnier one where happy endings are the order of the day * Marian Keyes *
Wodehouse always lifts your spirits, no matter how high they happen to be already * Lynne Truss *
