Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (1881 1975), a native of Guildford, England, was probably the greatest writer of comedy in the 20th century. With each passing year, his work continues to grow in popularity. Jeeves, the omniscient, highly competent valet, and Bertie Wooster, the upper-class, feather-brained gadabout, are his two most famous creations. His stories are generally characterized by intricate plots dealing with human foibles and complex, romantic entanglements.

Right Ho, Jeeves sees Bertie Wooster blithely attempting to assume the role of Jeeves himself as a matters-of-the-heart adviser.

This stylish, charming, and delightfully witty comedy showcases all the reasons why P.G. Wodehouse is hailed as one of the most sharp-witted writers of the 20th century.

All titles have been remastered, and have never sounded better!

P.G. Wodehouse, the master of British humor, produced dozens of books and hundreds of short stories in his long and prolific career.

Collected here are three of Wodehouse's most beloved Jeeves and Wooster tales—including 10 short stories from the anthology Carry On, Jeeves, as well as the complete novels The Inimitable Jeeves and Right Ho, Jeeves.
