The Inimitable Jeeves
P.G. Wodehouse
This
is in the form of a novel, but it is really a collection of short
stories. If you have seen the Jeeves and Wooster TV series, then the
stories in this book will be familiar. Most of the stories concern the
many loves of Bingo Little, an old school friend of Bertie's. Mr.
Little falls in love rather easily, in only 253 pages, he falls in love
no fewer than six times. And no fewer than five of the 23 episodes of
the show are based in part or in total on this one book. Now, I do not
know if I think that makes it the best Jeeves and Wooster book, but it
does have some of the most memorable stories. After seeing the TV
series, reading The Inimitable Jeeves is like coming home to an old friend.
