Publisher Comments:

Fans of P. G. Wodehouse's comic genius are legion, and their devotion to his masterful command of hilarity borders on obsession. Overlook happily feeds the obsession with four more antic selections from the master.<P>Blandings Castle is a collection of tales concerning Lord Emsworth and the Threepwood clan, while Jeeves in the Offing finds Bertie Wooster in yet another scrape — with the peerless Jeeves out of sight, on vacation! Poor Bertie nearly becomes unstuck! Young Men in Spats is Wodehouse at his most sparkling: stories concerning members of the inimitable Drones Club — they may be small of brain and short on cash but they are always good for ingenious adventures. And in The Luck of the Bodkins, the action spans London, New York, Hollywood, and several transatlantic liners, as three dapper young men find themselves in various Wodehousian predicaments concerning their love lives and finances.<P>Each volume has been reset and printed on Scottish creamwove, acid-free paper, sewn and bound in cloth. These novels are elegant and essential additions to any Wodehouse fan's library.

Perfect introduction to Wodehouse, for those who've never read him before. This volume contains the woes of Bertie Wooster and the genius of his manservant, Jeeves (a retelling of the Holmes and Watson stories, in comedy); a story of one of Mr. Mulliner's countless relatives; the uproariously funny trial of friendship between two young men, Barmy Fotheringay-Phipps and Reginald ("Pongo") Twistleton-Twistleton; and the masterpiece, "Uncle Fred Flits By". The last story should be saved until the others have been read; you'll be gasping for breath by the time you finish it! Enjoy.
