JEEVES IN THE OFFING (P. G. WODEHOUSE)


Mr. Bertram Wooster was idling away his holiday, with gloomy thoughts flitting in his mind. His manservant, friend, advisor and entertainer Jeeves was to go on his annual holiday the next morning, and he was to be in unsociable company at his Aunt’s house for the rest of the summer, without Jeeves to help him overcome it. He was sure that disaster would unfold at the manor house, and that there would be no Jeeves to help him solve the case.

Mr. Wooster could not have been more right. Disaster ensued and that was when he struck upon an idea. He recalled Jeeves from his holiday, and Jeeves proceeded to fix everything in his usual, eccentric way.

P. G. Wodehouse’s character of Jeeves is his most wonderful creation. Jeeves’ manner of talking and his eccentric sense of humor shine through his prim and proper appearance. This book is an excellent example of Jeeves’ wit.

Due to the tough language and complicating plot of the book, I recommend it to children of ages 13+.
