It's a classic of English humor and always so refreshing! In this volume, young Bertram, a decadent English aristocrat of the 1950s, must confront a series of misunderstandings around a jar of cream in the shape of a cow. Always dubious plots follow one another to avenge a dog by stealing a gendarme's helmet, guard a cook by stealing the silver jar of cream, and recover a compromising notebook. Bertram faces many formidable trials without courage or common sense but with a natural talent for causing hilarious catastrophes.

Took me forever to read for some reason, but laugh out loud funny. I think I need to see the televised versions with Hugh laurie.

I really, really enjoy Wodehouse's humor. I've only read two of the Jeeves books (out of order, not that it seems to matter too much) because while I enjoy the humor so much, I do feel that I enjoy it most in small doses. Reminiscent of some desserts. No more, thank you, I'm full.

Hilarious! A quick listen. Jeeves is the Actual Best. Eminently quotable play.

Super funny book, beautiful English language.

Delightful read with fantastically drawn characters.
