ABOUT THE BOOK:- This collection of short stories is a good example of early Wodehouse. It is here the Jeeves makes his first appearance with these unremarkable words: “Mrs. Gregson to see you, Sir”. Years later, when Jeeves became a household name, Wodehouse said he blushed to think of the off hand way he had treated the man at their first encounter. This anthology is a thorough introduction to classic literature for those who have not yet experienced these literary master works. For those who have known and loved these works in the past, this is an invitation to reunite with old friends in a fresh new format. ABOUT THE AUTHOR:- P. G. Wodehouse (1881-1975) was an English humarist of the 20th century. Born in Guildford, the son of British magistrate based in Hongkong. He turned to writing at a young age, demons t rat ing great ski l l at humorous sketches and musical lyrics. He continued to write part-time while pursuing, at the behest of his father, a career in banking and successfully contributed numerous pieces to punch, Vanity Fair and the Daily express , among other publications, while interned along with other British Citizens in Germany during the second World War. In 1955 he became an American Citizen. He was considered for the award of a Knighthood three times from 1967, but the honour was twice blocked by British officials.
