Books by P.G. Wodehouse

The titles of the first story in this collection - 'Jeeves Takes Charge' - and the last - 'Bertie Changes His Mind' - sum up the relationship of twentieth-century fiction's most famous comic characters.

A collection of stories in which familiar characters and places are reintroduced in unfamiliar circumstances, reminding us - if we need reminding - of their author's limitless powers of comic invention.

Anyone who involves himself with Roberta Wickham is asking for trouble, so naturally Bertie Wooster finds himself in just that situation when he goes to stay with his Aunt Dahlia at Brinkley Court.

The Honourable Galahad Threepwood has decided to write his memoirs and England's aristocrats are all diving for cover, not least Galahad's formidable sister Lady Constance Keeble who fears that her brother will ruin the family reputation with saucy stories of the 1890s.

Et tilsyneladende uskyldigt besøg hos tante Dahlia udvikler sig snart til en regulær hvepserede for Bertie Wooster, der blandt andet skal tilbringe weekenden med den forsmåede tidligere politimand Stilton Cheesewright. Denne var tidligere forlovet med Woosters kæreste, Florence, og er aldeles jaloux på det nye forhold, hvilket afstedkommer diverse trusler om vold. Florence er naturligvis også tilstede, og ligeledes er hendes nye beundrer, den sentimentale digter Percy Gorringe. Og da tante Dahlia bag sin ægtemands ryg ydermere forsøger at pantsætte sin perlekæde for at kunne betale en føljeton af Dahphne du Maurier – undskyld, Daphne Dolores Morehead – til sit dameblad, som hun i øvrigt forsøger at sælge, må Jeeves træde til og forsøge at rede trådene ud. Alt i alt en klassisk Wodehouse-farce.

Denne samling fortællinger indeholder nogle af de mest morsomme fra Wodehouses berømte serie om den naive engelske adelsmand Bertie Wooster og hans butler, den snu og underspillede kammertjener Jeeves. Jeeves må lægge sig i selen for at redde sin herre fra at tabe ansigt i forskellige tåbelige situationer – og Wooster opdager ikke altid, at det ikke er ham selv, der har fået de gode ideer!Politiken skrev: ”Nu ved vi, at Wodehouse er udødelig.
