A collection of PG Wodehouse short stories, rather misleadingly entitled "My Man Jeeves" as neither Jeeves, nor Bertie Wooster, are in all the stories!
Jolly good time, what! The sort of thing that really bucks up a chappy, and so on, and all that.

These are fun stories, but I was slightly disappointed that I had previously read several of these in "Leave it to Jeeves," and that a few were so similar to other tales in the series as to be like re-reading. I still enjoyed the book.
Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse did the improbable when he realized, as a British person, how funny British names are. even this small sliver of self-awareness hints at the broader abilities of his mind when it came to being a silly guy. the Reggie Pepper stories are fine, but Reggie is sort of Bertie and Jeeves rolled into one and the stories are much funnier when their two unique voices aren’t muddled. I always liked Jeeves growing up, and now I find I love Bertie just as much and even relate to him more closely. he’s brainy in his own way, and affable, and above all still a ditz.
I did not realize that this would be a collection of short stories.
