Books by P.G. Wodehouse

Typical - just when Bertie thinks that God's in his heaven and all's right with the world, things start to go wrong again... Only one man can save the day - the inimitable Jeeves.

A humorous novel in which an Earl and his aristocratic family are divided by what is seen as a socially unsuitable marriage.

Nothing but trouble can ensue when Bertie Wooster's Aunt Dahlia instructs him to steal a silver jug from Totleigh Towers, home of magistrate and hell-hound, Sir Watkin Bassett.

Denne samling er med rette en af de mest berømte af Wodehouses bøger. I den møder vi nogle af de mest utrolige – og utroligt morsomme – begivenheder i sagaen om den naive adelsmand Bertie Wooster og den opfindsomme butler Jeeves. Ikke mindst tante Agathas næsten overmenneskelige anstrengelser for at få Bertie gift …P.G. Wodehouse (1881-1975), engelsk forfatter, især af de mere muntre genrer. Er blevet kaldt ”Verdens morsomste forfatter” og var i sin samtid meget læst og højt elsket. Umådelig produktiv, skrev flere hundrede noveller, omkring halvtreds romaner og var medforfatter på et stort antal lystspil og operetter. Gennem tiderne er hans bøger blevet oversat til alverdens sprog og solgt i millionvis. En særstatus blandt hans værker indtager fortællingerne om den uforligneligt morsomme engelske butler, Jeeves.”Wodehouses idylliske verden ældes aldrig. Han vil virke befriende også på kommende generationer. Han har skabt en verden, vi kan leve i og fryde os over.” – Evelyn Waugh

Very Good Jeeves! (1930) is a collection of eleven short stories starring Bertie Wooster in eleven alarming predicaments from which he has to be rescued by his peerless gentleman's gentleman.

The trouble which begins with Gussie Fink-Nottle wandering the streets of London dressed as Mephistopheles reaches its awful climax in his drunken speech to the boys of Market Snodsbury Grammar School.

From such an innocent beginning Wodehouse weaves a comic tale of suspense and romance involving one of his most distinctive early heroes, Ronald Eustace Psmith, monocled wit and devil-may-care boulevardier. Unusually for Wodehouse, this is not only a light comedy but also an adventure story in which crime and even gun-play drive the plot.

Poor Bertie is in the soup again, and throughout this latest omnibus it is only Jeeves who keeps him from being the fish and the main course as well. This volume contains Much Obliged, Jeeves, Aunts Aren't Gentlemen and the short stories 'Extricating Young Gussie', 'Jeeves Makes An Omelette' and 'Jeeves and the Greasy Bird'.

Gathered in this volume are three of Wodehouse's hilarious Jeeves and Wooster novels: Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit, Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves and Jeeves in the Offing.

As always, Bertie is about to find himself in the soup (or 'up to the knees in bisque') and Jeeves is poised to pull him out - quite possibly after pushing him in in the first place.

The second Jeeves omnibus which includes "Carry on Jeeves", "Right Ho, Jeeves" and "Joy in the Morning".

This is an omnibus collection of stories and novels about Jeeves, Bertie Wooster's inimitable manservant.

P. G. Wodehouse er kendt og elsket for sine humoristiske beretninger om livet i England i 1900-tallets første årti. Wodehouse skrev over 90 fortællinger, drejebøger og romaner, herunder en hel serie af romaner om den naivt-tåbelige engelske adelsmand Bertie Wooster og dennes tjener Jeeves samt serien om Lord Emsworth og hans præmieso "Kejserinden af Blandings". Dette værk samler en række af P. G. Wodehouses allerbedste fortællinger – nøje udvalgt af den danske Wodehouse-ekspert Tage La Cour.

Jeeves rejser på ferie, og det er selvfølgelig en katastrofe for Bertie Wooster. Han søger tilflugt hos tante Dahlia på Brinkley Court – det skulle han ikke have gjort. Her møder han en amerikansk forfatterinde, sin gamle rektor og – værst af alt – den berømte psykiater sir Roderick Glossop, der har forklædt sig som butler for frit at kunne iagttage forfatterindens søn. Der opstår frygtelige forviklinger, forlovelser indgås og hæves, og Bertie beskyldes for at have stjålet en kostbar sølvflødeko. Alt dette kan Bertie Wooster slet ikke klare på egen hånd, men heldigvis trækker den ferierende Jeeves i trådene.

Sir Watkyn Basset og hans forfærdelige familie bor på Totleigh Towers og er blandt de sidste mennesker i verden Bertie Wooster har lyst til at bo sammen med. Men alligevel må han og den allestedsnærværende Jeeves, begive sig til Totleigh da Bertie bliver alarmeret af et forlydende, som kan risikere at få dyb indflydelse på hans fremtidige liv – og ikke på nogen god måde, forstår han. Ankommet til Totleigh roder Bertie sig som sædvanlig ud alskens ulykker – ofte selvforskyldte. Men heldigvis har han sin Jeeves med og hvor Jeeves er, er der en redning.

Denne samling fortællinger indeholder nogle af de mest morsomme fra Wodehouses berømte serie om den naivttåbelige engelske adelsmand Bertie Wooster og hans butler, den mere snu kammertjener Jeeves. Jeeves er opfindsomheden selv, når han skal rage kastanjerne ud af ilden for sin altid uheldige herre. Og dét kommer han til mere end en gang!P.G.

Many old friends reappear to take their last bow: the Earl of Emsworth, Dame Daphne Winkworth, Beach the butler, the Empress of Blandings (Lord Emsworth's prize pig), Freddie Threepwood (his son), G.

Lord Emsworth's prized pig, the Empress of Blandings, is at the centre of Wodehouse's hilarious tale of mistaken identity, the triumph of young love, and general mayhem among the twits at Blandings Castle.

Poor George - he doesn't seem to stand a chance. How George eventually triumphs over the bossy Mrs Waddington makes for a dizzying plot featuring some of Wodehouse's most appealing minor characters - Mullett the butler and his light-fingered girlfriend Fanny, J.

A Blandings novelThe Empress of Blandings, prize-winning pig and all-consuming passion of Clarence, Ninth Earl of Emsworth, has disappeared.

Trapped in the rural hell-hole of Steeple Bumpleigh with his bossy ex-fiancee, Florence Craye, her fire-breathing father, Lord Worplesdon, her frightful Boy-Scout brother, Edwin, and her beefy new betrothed, 'Stilton' Cheesewright, Bertie Wooster finds himself walking a diplomatic tightrope.

Jeeves suggests a small bottle of champagne in the library. Bertie Wooster's happiness seeems to know no bounds until destiny comes in through the French window. When confusion and panic reign, disaster can be averted if you ring for Jeeves.

P G Wodehouse was, by common consent, the most brilliant writer of English comedy in the 20th century, equally celebrated on both sides of the Atlantic. This anthology includes two novels, fourteen short stories and extracts from Wodehouse' autobiography.

The first of the Blandings Castle novels, introducing Lord Emsworth, his family, his secretary - the Efficient Baxter - and the mandatory Wodehouse cast of butlers, aunts, younger sons, detectives, lovers and imposters. Take the 4.15 from Paddington Station to Shropshire and arrive in heaven.

The thought of being cooped up in Blandings Castle with Clarence, the Earl of Emsworth, the perennially youthful Galahad and with the Earl's younger son, Freddie Threepwood, openly appalled Colonel Wedge.

After winning the Fat Pig competition for two years in a row with Empress of Blandings, Lord Emsworth's ascendancy at the Agricultural Show is threathened by Sir Gregory Parsloe's new sow, Queen of Matchingham.

If Stanley Featherstonehaugh Ukridge had a fiver for every dodgy scheme he has ever floated, he would be a rich man indeed.

The prime example is man-about-town Bertie Wooster, doing a good turn to Gussie Fink-Nottle by impersonating him while he enjoys fourteen days away from society after being caught taking an unscheduled dip in the fountains of Trafalgar Square.
