Summary
A collection of Wodehouse’s earliest fiction includes the first appearance of Jeeves and Bertie Wooster. The beginning of it all… a must-have for collectors.
It is an intriguing collection, where most of the stories concern relationships, sports, and household pets, and interestingly does not feature any of Wodehouse’s regular characters. One however, “Extricating Young Gussie,” is remarkable as the first appearance of some of Wodehouse’s most well-known and beloved characters, Jeeves…

He exhausts superlatives
The handsome bindings are only the cherry on top of what is already a cake without compare. * Evening Standard *He exhausts superlatives * Stephen Fry *Wodehouse’s idyllic world can never stale. He will continue to release future generations from captivity that may be more irksome than our own. He has made a world for us to live in and delight in * Evelyn Waugh *
About The Author
P.G. Wodehouse
Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (always known as ‘Plum’) wrote about seventy novels and some three hundred short stories over seventy-three years. He is widely recognised as the greatest 20th-century writer of humour in the English language.
Perhaps best known for the escapades of Bertie Wooster and Jeeves, Wodehouse also created the world of Blandings Castle, home to Lord Emsworth and his cherished pig, the Empress of Blandings. His stories include gems concerning the irrepressible and disreputable Ukridge; Psmith, the elegant socialist; the ever-so-slightly-unscrupulous Fifth Earl of Ickenham, better known as Uncle Fred; and those related by Mr Mulliner, the charming raconteur of The Angler’s Rest, and the Oldest Member at the Golf Club.
In 1936 he was awarded the Mark Twain Prize for ‘having made an outstanding and lasting contribution to the happiness of the world’. He was made a Doctor of Letters by Oxford University in 1939 and in 1975, aged ninety-three, he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II. He died shortly afterwards, on St Valentine’s Day.
