The Code of the Woosters

by P G Wodehouse

The Code of the Woosters Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Wodehouse’s most famous creations, likeable nitwit Bertie Wooster and his effortlesly superior valet and protector Jeeves, reach a kind of apotheosis in The Code of the Woosters,  in which Bertie is rescued from his bumbling escapades again and again by the ever-nonplussed gentleman’s gentleman Jeeves.

Review:

"Wodehouse is the funniest writer--that is, the most resourceful and unflagging deliverer of fun--that the human race, a glum crowd, has yet produced." --Anthony Lane, The New Yorker

 

“Bertie and Jeeves are at their best in The Code of the Woosters.”   --Newsweek
