Carry On, Jeeves
The comic genius of P.G. Wodehouse at his absolute peak. Bertie Wooster, wealthy young man about town, has a gift for landing himself in the most spectacular scrapes imaginable - from accidentally getting engaged to three women in one afternoon to impersonating a literary giant at a society dinner. What saves him, every time, is Jeeves: the supreme gentleman's gentleman whose genius for disentangling disaster is nothing short of miraculous. These ten stories, beginning with their very first meeting, sparkle with flawless comedic timing and some of the finest prose in the English language. This is escapist entertainment at its purest - a world where problems are always solved, cocktails are always cold, and Jeeves always knows exactly what to do. If you've ever needed permission to laugh, this is it.

“Honoria, you see, is one of those robust, dynamic girls with the muscles of a welter-weight and a laugh like a squadron of cavalry charging over a tin bridge. A beastly thing to have to face over the breakfast table. Brainy, moreover. The sort of girl who reduces you to pulp with sixteen sets of tennis and a few rounds of golf and then comes down to dinner as fresh as a daisy, expecting you to take an intelligent interest in Freud.””
— P. G. Wodehouse
