Inspect Jeeves And The Impending Doom Depicted By P.G. Wodehouse File Paper Edition

celebrated itsth birthday by publishingtitles as Pocket Penguins, Since Wodehouse had first been published by Penguin inand over the subsequent years overvolumes of his work had been published by them he was an obvious choice for inclusion and I was only surprised he wasnt billed higher than therd title in the series.
So this slim volume contains two stories both taken from acollection Very Good, Jeeves which was first published by Penguin in,

In the title story Jeeves saves Bertie from gaining game full employment with Mr Filmer, the Cabinet Minister, Wodehouses description of Mr Filmer is priceless The Right Hon, Was a tubby little chap who looked as if he had been poured into his clothes and had forgotten to say When!,
In Jeeves and the Song of Songs Jeeves extracts Berties pal Tuppy Glossop from an unfortunate engagement to operatic singer Cora Bellinger as he has fallen in love with Berties cousin Angela.


A perfect introduction for anyone not already familiar with Wodehouses greatest comic creations,
Hilarious and so much fun to read! light bus reading, dry british humor :. smiles all around. Startedon PG Wodehouse and going out on it, too, My alltime favourite comic writer and although I don't rate Jeeves as highly as Blandings, the eponymous tale of the two in this Pocket Penguin's contains the immortal, 'he looked like he had been poured into his clothes and forgot to say 'When!'' When is Wodehouse's Jeeves stories not pitch perfect in terms of tone, turn of phrase and turn of events! The two stories presented here are as perfect as any, except that they are so few!

Wodehouse teken Edwardiaanse Engeland met soveel trefsekerheid ten opsigte van sy karakters en hul avonture en spraak, dat hierdie twee trefsekere stories volmaak bevredig, maar ook teleurstel: daar is dan net twee! Idk what to say.
Don't read it Wodehouse's stories are a tonic, Read one and everything's oojahcumspiff, Laugh out loud hilarious. Wodehouse's effervescent writing is as good as ever, and this was a sliver of delight, I thought I hadn't read this one yet, but apparently I had, Whups. I didn't mind though. There are few things more enjoyable on a rainy day than a cup of hot chocolate and a Wodehouse book, I loved this book. It is the first time I've read a book from this series but I have the whole series of the tv shows on dvd, Thus Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry 'voiced' the stories in my head,
: If you're a fan of silly British humourand I am, this book is for you, Great for an emergency book long lines, putting fussy baby to sleep, etc, I have never laughed so much reading like I didyears ago with Jeeves and the Impending Doom, I have reread the book again recently and it's like going back to that first joy,

I have read it in Spanish, . . I still struggle with P, G. Wodehouse in English must be the vocabulary, or the amount of British shows I watched dubbed growing up, This was excellent. I will be seeking out more Wodehouse based on this little taster, I enjoyed each of the stories, Just loved it. Classic Wodehouse, in a short format, I took this little book on all my metro trips when I was in Paris and probably gave away the fact that I wasn't a local by sniggering every thirty seconds.
A laugh riot through and through! Thouroughly enjoyed reading "Jeeves and the song of songs, " Initially, kind of hard to see where the story was going, you managed to

follow it, and, it ended, Kind of quirky and fun though, HAHAHAHA !!!
Just great cant add anything else to this review, Superb.
So, so, so dangerously close to five, its scary Jeeves and Wooster never fail to give laughs, Wodehouse makes perfect use of the language to craft the funniest stuff imaginable,

Jeeves rescues Bertie Wooster from an angry water fowl while also saving him from gasp gainful employment, Priceless. The doubleact of Bertie Wooster and his faithful, omniscient butler Jeeves is the greatest comic pairing in literature, Penguin first published Wodehouse in, a year after Penguin was founded, and this volume offers two of the comic master's mostloved stories, In these two stories Bertie Wooster finds himself on a losing streak and lands himself at the mercy of his aunts, Dahlia and Agatha, and only Jeeves is capable of extricating him from disaster.


Jeeves and the Impending Doom
Jeeves and the Song of Songs I found this book in a geocache, and it's a bookcrossing, com book it's meant to be read and released, My father used to watch Wooster and Jeeves, so I was already familiar with the characters, The book contains two short stories, It was a quick, amusing read, Includes my favorite Jeeves story, 'Jeeves and the Song of Songs,.Jeeves and Wooster at, if not their best, then their shortest,

Wodehouse had a way of phrasing that makes practically anything funny, Thus, he could write about getting caught in the rain, treed by a swan, being interrupted while in the bath, or forced to sing for charity, Jeeves is indubitably the master at getting Bertie Wooster out of a variety of scrapes and he does not let his charge down in the two stories in this Pemguin, issued in the series that celebrates Penguin'syears.


In the first story 'Jeeves and the Impending Doom', Jeeves helps Bertie rescue a Member of Parliament, Mr Filmer, stranded on a roof on an island by a strategy that involves snaring a rampaging swan and getting absolutely drenched.


But Bertie is grateful because his action passifies Aunt Agatha and saves Bertie from a fate that he feared was worse than death,

In 'Jeeves and the Song of Songs', the singing of Danny Boy causes all the trouble as Tuppy Glossop gets entangled with two ladies, He upsets the first by wooing the second but Bertie decides that the choice of lady is wrong for Tuppy,

Jeeves comes up with the solution and, in front of a vehement audience, Danny Boy seals Tuppy's fate and he ends up with the right lady.
