The double-act of Bertie Wooster and his faithful, omniscient butler Jeeves is the greatest comic pairing in literature. Millions of fans worldwide have laughed at the travails of bumbling Bertie and delighted at the felicitous solutions devised by Jeeves to extricate his master from the soup'. Penguin first published Wodehouse in 1936, a year after Penguin was founded, and this volume offers three of the comic master's most-loved stories: 'Jeeves and the Impending Doom'; Jeeves and the Song of Songs; The Clicking of Cuthbert. Bertie Wooster is on a losing streak and finds himself at the mercy of his aunts, Dahlia and Agatha, and only Jeeves is capable of extricating him from disaster; Cuthbert Banks is at the mercy of Wood Hills Literary and Debating Society and only a famous Russian novelist with a fondness for golf will be able to save him from an evening of High Culture.

Both of these stories veered towards the latter; they were both amusing, with Jeeves, as always, coming out on top. In Jeeves and the Impending Doom he gets a bit of revenge on Bertie too.
Jeeves and the Song of Songs was the winner for best dialogue; the exchange between Bertie and Aunt Dahlia made me chuckle.
Wodehouse is pretty much always on my TBR in some form or another because he can always be counted on for excellent and lighthearted writing. ( )
