NOTES

First published in 1925, "Carry On, Jeeves" is P. G. Wodehouse's third collection of Jeeves and Bertie Wooster stories. All of the stories included in this volume first appeared in periodicals like the "Saturday Evening Post" including some that are reworked versions of stories that appeared in the 1919 collection "My Man Jeeves". In this volume, readers will find some of Wodehouse's most famous tales of the hapless and wealthy Bertie, his equally clueless friends, and his wise and pragmatic valet, Jeeves. The first story in the book, "Jeeves Takes Charge", introduces Jeeves to Bertie's life when he replaces his previous valet, who had been stealing from him. Many of the stories take place in New York and familiar characters, such as Aunt Dahlia, Bingo Little, Anatole, and Sir Roderick Glossop, make appearances in this collection. Wodehouse's tales are engaging, clever, laugh-out-loud funny, and enjoyably English in their sensibilities and dialogue. Jeeves, with his complicated plans and ability to solve seemingly any problem, is at his plucky best in this classic collection of Wodehouse stories. This edition includes a biographical afterword
