There is really no one who can wash away the troubles, soothe the careworn brow--how does that go again?--And careworn brows forget, sir.Exactly! When my brows need forgetting. No one can soothe and forget like P.G. Wodehouse.I was idling away the morning, doing my best to make myself scarce, what with visiting family being more than a jot tiring, when I popped into the Strand to see if they could help improve the noggin. Not to say they had fish, but they did have a rather large assortment ofI've reviewed other Wodehouse story collections before, and he like Bernard Cornwell is so consistent that my comments here, both descriptive and appraising, would only copy past reviews. With a few adjustments, I could literally paste-in my review for Right Ho Jeeves , as the difference lies in one being a novel and the other (this) a collection of stories. In short, Wodehouse has a brilliant way with the English language, which is never funnier than in his hands, and he tells amusing stories
One of the earlier Jeeves & Wooster, Very Good, Jeeves sees Wodehouse with some matured characters, but a plot that is still taking baby steps.If memory serves (and it seldom does, so take that with a necessary grain of salt!), the first few "Jeeves" books Wodehouse penned were written as short stories. This one definitely is and I'm not a huge fan. Or perhaps I should say that I prefer the full length novellas of later books. These shorts felt like they were just getting off the ground only
A dose of Jeeves and Wooster is definitely good for what ails you. Wodehouse created a world in which the worst thing that happens is that a bobby's helmet is stolen by some inebriated (but always good-hearted) young men or Uncle George, Lord Yaxley, is planning to marry a young waitress. And the brainy Jeeves always has a scheme to set right any of these trifling wrongs.One wouldn't want a steady diet of such light fare, but occasionally it's good to remember that a merry heart doeth good like
Oh, Bertie! All these harebrained schemes! Hilarious! I always need vitamin Wodehouse for a good dose of healthy laughter and amusement. Carry on! Right, ho!
We all wish we had someone as discrete as Jeeves to help us get over the muddles and messes we create.Rescue...Jeeves! I shouted.Sir? came a faint respectful voice from the great open spaces.My man, I explained to the Right Hon. A fellow of infinite resource and sagacity. Hell have us out of this in a minute. Jeeves!An Aunt's opinion on youth...The modern young man, said Aunt Dahlia, is a congenital idiot and wants a nurse to lead him by the hand and some strong attendant to kick him regularly
What a bally good book! A collection of 11 short stories consisting of assorted birds from country houses all over the English countryside, with a dash of Proletariat thrown in as well. What with the blighted Aunt Agatha and the wonderful Aunt Dahlia (the only aunt in the Wooster clan who shouldn't be locked up in an asylum) making multiple appearances, along with an intolerable uncle, wailing cousins and a couple of blighted nephews, exotic dogs, the Pyke and what not. I think, this entire
