A full cast of Wodehouse creations—including tyrannical relatives, beastly acquaintances, demon children, and literary fatheads—return for further near catastrophes and sparkling comedy A Gentleman of Leisure is a comic novel dedicated to Douglas Fairbanks—who starred in the film version—and concerns a young man, his love life, and a burglary. Famiiliar Wodehouse characters from both sides of the ocean make appearances. Meanwhile, in Hot Water, J. Wellington Gedge is the man who has everything—but finds himself caught in a series of international events which will, if he doesn't put a stop to it, leave him wearing the sissy uniform of the American ambassador to Paris. Summer Moonshine involves Sir Buckstone Abbott trying to sell what is probably the ugliest home in England, as well as a complicated love quadrangle and Carry On, Jeeves is a collection of stories in which Jeeves take charge and a familiar bevy of individuals appeal to him to solve their problems—and are never disappointed....

On the 25th anniversary of Wodehouse's death, booksellers and readers will be cheered to find the finest editions available of his classic novels--the first in a series of his best known works--by one of the greatest English comic writers of our time.
Fans devoted to the master of comic fiction P. G. Wodehouse are legion. He represents an antic high point in the world of farce and social satire. Best known for the creation of two fictional worlds based on Blandings Castle and the Wooster-Jeeves gentleman-valet duo, Wodehouse is appreciated the world over for his exceedingly clever and comically savvy send-ups of the idle rich in Edwardian England.
In The Code of the Woosters, it takes all the ingenuity of Jeeves, the "gentleman's gentleman" extraordinaire, to rescue his hapless and hopelessly obtuse young employer, Bertie Wooster, from the pickle of a plot to steal a silver jug from the home of an irascible magistrate.
With each volume edited and reset and printed on Scottish cream-wove, acid-free paper, sewn and bound in cloth, these novels are elegant additions to any Wodehouse fan's library....

Bensen has collected a dozen pieces to delight golfers and those who know them -- even those who have never basked in the ecstasy of a perfect putt....

A Bertie and Jeeves classic, featuring novelist Florence Craye, a pearl necklace, and The Mystery of the Pink Crayfish. Bertie is in a genuine fix.

Will Jeeves rally to the cause and rescue his employer once again?...

Jimmy Crocker, aka Piccadilly Jim, is a lively young American ex-newspaper man who meets Ann Chester, the girl of his dreams, in London.

G. Wodehouse's most deliciously comic feasts. Martin Jarvis has established himself as the leading reader of Wodehouse. In this audiobook, as he did in Carry On, Jeeves and the Just William series, he brilliantly captures the author's irresistible brand of absurd hilarity. ...

At Blandings Castle, Lord Emsworth’s brother Sir Galahad Threepwood is penning his memoirs, much to the horror of his overbearing sister, Lady Constance, who fears salacious tales of his salad days will shame the family. She convinces Baxter, Lord Emsworth’s former secretary, to return to Blandings to steal the memoirs. Also at the Castle is Ronnie Fish, who’s hoping to get money from Emsworth in order to marry his chorus girl sweetie, Sue. But the best laid schemes of memoir-stealing and marriage-funding gamely go awry. Not one to be easily deterred, Ronnie secretly kidnaps Lord Emsworth’s prize pig in order to claim the reward. Baxter, though, is certain that Emsworth’s current secretary has stolen the pig as a sort of porcine job insurance. Soon, Blandings is awash in private detectives, broken engagements, and mistaken identities. Martin Jarvis’ nimble reading adds to the hilarity of this classic Wodehouse farce. ...

A perfect storm is brewing over Blandings Castle. As Lord Emsworth battles to prevent a pig-napping, Lord Tilbury lurks, desperate to filch Gally Threepwood’s sensational memoirs, and those formidable sisters, Julia and Constance, will stop at nothing to sabotage the nuptials of Ronnie Fish and his chorus girl sweetie, Sue. Also in the mix are Parsloe-Parsloe, Monty Bodkin, Percy Pilbeam, and a very confused Beach the butler, drawn into events by a heady cocktail of loyalty and self-interest. Surely the storm will peter out and the thunder roll away…but what will it leave in its wake? Heavy Weather is P.G. Wodehouse at his most magical, so expect sunshine and even a rainbow or two as both the skies and the confusion clear. Martin Jarvis inhabits this masterpiece of cross-purposes with dazzling vocal dexterity, adding another laugh-out-loud performance to his many Wodehouse readings. ...
