Mayhem has broken out at Brinkley Court and there would seem to be a desperate need for Jeeves. But Bertie is fed up with the assumption that he is merely an addendum to his personal attendant. There are more brains in the Wooster household than just Jeeves, you know! Stand back—Bertram Wooster is on the case.

"Once again, as always, Bertie has problems. Most of his problems are creations of his friends or relatives who inevitably decide that Bertie is the answer to thier troubles. Equally inevitable is the need for Jeeves to come to rescue. Classic, silly Wodehouse. Fun read"
— Denise (4 out of 5 stars)
“Topping stuff.”
— Guardian (London)“Wodehouse is the greatest comic writer ever.”
— Douglas Adams“Mr. Wodehouse’s idyllic world can never stale. He will continue to release future generations from captivity that may be more irksome than our own. He has made a world for us to live in and delight in.”
— Evelyn Waugh" So clever and so well narrated. The presentation scene is priceless! "
— Emma, 9/23/2018" One might argue that the title suggests that there could be such a thing as too much Jeeves, and that, I think, could not be true. The introduction by Robert McCrum is also a nice little read and shouldn't be skipped. "
— Jenifer, 7/24/2013" Just enough Jeeves? Sorry, but I don't think there can ever be enough Jeeves, even with three books in one volume. I would give it 15 stars if I could. So, so funny. "
— Betsy, 6/25/2013" Loved this! What ho, Jeeves - how does Jeeves always manage to work everything out, while putting Bertie in his place? Too funny! "
— Lisa, 1/16/2013" By the bed reading for relaxation, haven't read these particular short stories in awhile so language + plot details amusing + fresh. "
— Michelledenisenorton, 9/19/2011" Intro + 3 books in 1 big paperback. This was my introduction to P.G. Woodhouse and I was a little intimidated by the door-stopper size of the volume -- until I started it. Then it was lots of fun, a good exteneded chuckle, refreshing. "
— Mary, 8/30/2011" Practically every page had me laughing aloud. "
— Jack, 7/23/2011" The wit, the pace, the bald-faced idiocy of some of the characters, the insightful snapshot into class and application of common sense. A great introduction to Wodehouse. If you don't find yourself giggling in public places whilst reading this, then re-read the page! "
— Cynthia, 5/26/2011" My first Wodehouse; I think short stories serve P.G. best, but there is plenty to love here, including a truly epic drunken speech towards the end. "
— Danielroffle, 5/20/2011" P.G. Wodehouse is a genius of his time. The chaos, the all to good ending, the chuckles you will chuckle, make for a good read-aloud. "
— Peet, 5/16/2011" Dry, English humor. I loved it. Clean, funny, interesting, great. "
— Katherine, 4/20/2011" One of my favorites, and laugh out loud funny! "
— Jane, 4/12/2011" So good! I looooove Jeeves and Bertie AND, of course, P.G. Wodehouse! "
— Allison, 4/7/2011" As always, Wodehouse cracks me up! Best Wodehouse book that I've read so far. "
— Prasanna, 3/9/2011" its not slapstick humor....but its better off cousin......laugh till you tummy hurts humor !! :D "
— Anusha, 3/9/2011" Laugh out loud. I think it helped that I saw the the adaptation with Fry and Laurie. While reading, I had Hugh Laurie's voice in my head. "
— Bob, 3/5/2011" Really pretty funny, as Wodehouse always is. I always picture Bertie Wooster as Hugh Laurie. What an ass he is, but a different kind of ass than Dr. House. "
— Cissy, 3/4/2011" Brilliant, hilarious, laughed till my sides hurt for most of the book. Absolutely loved it! "
— Molly, 3/2/2011" Wodehouse is always brilliant. He has one of the finest comic narrative voices in print. "
— Dan, 2/25/2011" It is now hard for me to read anything other than Wodehouse. "
