P.G. Wodehouse

Meet the hilarious British dilettante Bertram 'Bertie' Wooster who can't seem to help finding himself in the middle of awkward social situations, calling upon his valet Jeeves to escape embarrassment.

'Why have you got to go anywhere? Are you on the run from the police?' 
'Doctor's orders.' 
 
When Bertie Wooster overdoes metropolitan life, his doctor prescribes fresh air in the depths of the country. But after moving with Jeeves to his cottage at Maiden Eggesford, Bertie soon finds himself surrounded by aunts - not only his redoubtable Aunt Dahlia but an aunt of Jeeves's too. 
 
Add a hyper-sensitive racehorse, a pompous cat and a decidedly bossy fiancée - and all the ingredients are present for a plot in which aunts can exert their terrible authority. But Jeeves, of course, can cope with everything - even aunts, and even the country.

Aunts Aren't Gentlemen

(Jeeves & Wooster)

Dive into this collection of laugh-out-loud funny short stories from the perennial comic P. G. Wodehouse. 
 
Meet Clarence, the absent-minded ninth Earl of Emsworth, whose beloved pig the Empress of Blandings is in the running for her first prize in the Fat Pigs Class at the Shropshire Agricultural Show. Revel in the delicious feud between Head Gardener McAllister and the terrifying Lady Constance, which can only be solved by a delightfully rebellious little girl from London. And skipping an ocean and a continent, indulge in unputdownable stories of excess from the monstrous Golden Age of Hollywood, specially selected by Wodehouse himself.

Blandings Castle and Elsewhere

(Blandings Castle)

‘P.G. Wodehouse remains the greatest chronicler of a certain kind of Englishness, that no one else has ever captured quite so sharply, or with quite as much wit and affection’ Julian Fellowes 
 
‘Jeeves, of course, is a gentleman’s gentleman, not a butler, but if the call comes, he can buttle with the best of them.’ 
 
Bertie’s friend ‘Stinker Pinker’ needs his help. But helping his friend means venturing back into the dreaded Totleigh Towers and facing Sir Watkyn Bassett, his ghastly daughter Madeline and would-be dictator Roderick Spode once more. Despite having sworn never to set foot in there again, Bertie, true to form, answers the call of friendship. 
 
But even the best laid plans can go awry and, as usual, the only one who can set this frightful adventure straight is Jeeves. 
 
‘A comic master’ David Walliams

And revel in the hijinks galore that come with the addition of lovestruck young men, headstrong young women, iron-willed aunts and imposters roaming the grounds - not to mention the Empress of Blandings, Lord Emsworth's prized pig.

Fun-loving Bertie and his friends are always getting themselves into scrapes, and it's up to Jeeves to fix the mess they leave behind. Whether it's helping Bertie recover his Aunt Agatha's lost dog, plot revenge against his old pal Tuppy Glossop, or navigate numerous love interests - Jeeves has always got an answer. After all, all's well that ends well - even if it's rarely as Bertie plans.

Very Good, Jeeves

'I like that young man. He is sound on pigs. He has his head screwed on the right way.' 
 
The Empress of Blandings, prize-winning pig and all-consuming passion of Clarence, Ninth Earl of Emsworth, has disappeared. 
 
Blandings Castle is in uproar and there are suspects a-plenty - from the scandalous memoirist Galahad Threepwood to the Efficient Baxter, and the chilling former secretary to Lord Emsworth. Even Beach the Butler seems deeply embroiled. And what of Sir Gregory Parsloe-Parsloe, Clarence's arch-rival and neighbour, whose own pig competes with the Empress for local glory? 
 
With the castle full or imposters and deception around every corner, how will the Earl ever get to the bottom of the disappearance of the castle's most precious occupant?

A collection of classic stories featuring some of the funniest episodes in the life of gentleman Bertie Wooster and his incomparable valet Jeeves. 
 
Meddling Aunt Agatha wants to see Bertie married, and nothing will stop her from playing matchmaker. The problem? Bertie has no plans to settle down. So it's up to Jeeves to find Bertie a way out of marrying the terrifying Honoria Glossop, and to help Bertie's insatiable friend Bingo Little navigate falling head-over-heels for seven different girls.

The Inimitable Jeeves

'Your tea will be here in a moment, sir.' 
'No, Jeeves. This is no time for tea. I must concentrate." 
 
When his incomparable valet Jeeves suddenly resigns, how will the hapless Bertie Wooster get by? 
Bertie's dedicated but somewhat untuneful playing of the banjo has driven Jeeves, his otherwise steadfast gentleman's gentleman, to give notice. Looking for respite, Bertie disappears to the country as a guest of his chum Chuffy, only to find his peace shattered by the arrival of his ex-fiancée Pauline Stoker, her formidable father and the eminent loony-doctor Sir Roderick Glossop. It seems Bertie cannot survive for long without Jeeves - and soon a situation arises which only Jeeves can solve.

Thank You, Jeeves

Georgette Heyer

Adam Deveril, the new Viscount Lynton and a hero at Salamanca, returns from the Peninsula War to find his family on the brink of ruin and the broad acres of his ancestral home mortgaged to the hilt. It is Lord Oversley, father of Adam's first love, who tactfully introduces him to Mr Jonathan Chaleigh, a City man of apparently unlimited wealth with no social ambitions for himself, but with his eyes firmly fixed on a suitable match for his one and only daughter. 
 
For more than fifty years Georgette Heyer brought romance and adventure to a worldwide readership and Civil Contarct shows how she continues to be loved today.

A Civil Contract

Tragically left an orphan after her father's death, Kate Malvern is taken under the wing of her foreboding aunt Minerva and brought to the grand house of Staplewood, where Minerva rules the household. 
 
Her uncle lives in one wing, while her handsome, moody cousin occupies another; guests are few and far between, and even family dinners are rigidly formal. 
 
But the sudden arrival of Cousin Philip throws Minerva's control over the household into doubt, and soon Kate begins to suspect the shocking reason for Minerva's generosity. 
 
She has no-one to confide in but Cousin Philip who - for reasons unknown - seems to have taken an unaccountable dislike to her... 
 
A rich and classic Regency Romance, Cousin Kate is replete with the sparkling humour, memorable characters and intricate plots that will delight Heyer fans the world over.

Neither Sir Tristram Shield nor his beautiful young cousin, Eustacie, share the slightest inclination to marry one another. 
 
Yet it is Eustacie's grandfather's dying wish, made on his deathbed. 
 
For there is no one else to look after and provide for Eustacie while his heir, Ludovic, remains a fugitive from justice after allegedly murdering a man in a dispute over a priceless family heirloom. 
 
And so the hunt is on - to find Ludovic and bring him home as well as the Talisman Ring ... 
 
Romance, a murder mystery, a proposed marriage of convenience, and the hunt for a golden ring lie at the heart of one of Georgette Heyer's funniest and fastest-paced romantic comedies to date.

From the moment Jeeves cures Bertie Wooster of a raging hangover with his own concoction of Worcestershire sauce and tomato juice, they become steadfast partners. 
 
Whether it is fixing a plan-gone-wrong, or solving his friends' love lives, Jeeves is Bertie's unfaltering aide through a series of entirely self-imposed misadventures.

Carry On, Jeeves

'It seems to me that you and I were made for each other. I am your best friend's best friend and we both have a taste for stealing other people's jewellery.' 
 
Lady Constance Keeble has both an imperious manner and a valuable diamond necklace. The precarious peace of Blandings is shattered when her necklace becomes the object of desire for some well-connected jewel thieves - among them the Honourable Freddie Threepwood, who wants the reward money for a bookmaking business, and Psmith, the elegant socialist. On patrol with the impossible task of bringing order to Blandings is the Efficient Baxter, whose strivings lead to a memorable encounter with the castle flowerpots.

Leave it to Psmith

Welcome to the world of the delightfully dotty Lord Emsworth, his bone-headed younger son and his long-suffering secretary. 
 
Having returned home with a valuable Egyptian amulet, Lord Emsworth finds his home contains not one but two imposters intent on taking it off his hands. But with no real sense of how the amulet came to be in his pocket in the first place, things get a lot more complicated very quickly...

Something Fresh

'There are moments, Jeeves, when one asks oneself, "Do trousers matter?"' 
 
'The mood will pass, sir.'

In order to do so, Jeeves hatches a scheme whereby Bertie must charm the droopy and altogether unappealing Madeline and face the wrath of would-be dictator Roderick Spode. Though the prospect fills him with dread, when duty calls, Bertie will answer, for Aunt Dahlia will not be denied. 
 
In a plot that swiftly becomes rife with mishaps, it is Jeeves who must extract his master from trouble. Again.

Kitty Charing's life-changing inheritance comes with a catch. 
 
Her eccentric and childless guardian, Mr. Penicuik, is leaving Kitty all of his vast fortune - but with one condition. She must marry one of his five grand-nephews. 
 
However, Kitty's clear favourite - the rakish Jack Westruther - doesn't appear at all interested in the arrangement. To make Jack jealous, Kitty impulsively convinces his cousin, the kind-hearted and chivalrous Freddy Standen, to enter into a pretend engagement. 
 
But the more time she spends with Freddy, the more Kitty wonders whether Jack is the right choice after all...
