Tales

Thirty-five short stories and ten full length novels, all about Jeeves, the personal gentleman's gentleman, and Bertram Wilberforce Wooster, his master. No murders, no sex, no improper language, no car crashes, no explicit violence: Pelham Granville Wodehouse has left us a world where the weather is almost invariably sunny, the lodgings as impressive as their inhabitants' titles,  the girls  young and attractive, the young boys obnoxious, the friends always there to be helped in need and the aunts varying in disposition from iron maiden style to joyfully bonhomous.

Characters

Over two hundred characters live within the Jeeves and Wooster stories. Some are regular visitors, some appear only once or in just a few stories, and a number of them are interrelated by family ties or by recurring amorous connections, almost invariably leading to engagements, which are nearly as often broken off as they are made. Actual marriages do seldom occur in the Jeeves and Wooster world: not suprising because every marriage would lessen the pool of prenuptial candidates, whose amorous complications provide us with an ocean of delightful stories in which to indulge ourselves.
