About the Book
Originally published: London: H. Jenkins, 1960.Book Synopsis
From P. G. Wodehouse, "a brilliantly funny writer" (London Times), Jeeves in the Offing collects a series of misadventures featuring Bertie Wooster, idle in wealth and mind, and his loyal manservant, Jeeves. Anyone who involves himself with Roberta Wickham is asking for trouble, so naturally Bertie Wooster finds himself in just that situation when he goes to stay with his Aunt Dahlia at Brinkley Court. So much is obvious. Why celebrated loony-doctor Sir Roderick Glossop should be there too, masquerading as a butler, is less clear. As for Bertie's former headmaster, the ghastly Aubrey Upjohn, and the dreadful novelist, Mrs. Homer Cream, with her eccentric son, Wilbert, their presence is entirely perplexing. Without Jeeves to help him solve these mysteries, Bertie nearly comes unstuck. It is only when that peerless manservant returns from his holiday that the resulting tangle of problems is sorted out to everyone's satisfaction--except Bertie's. "The greatest comic writer ever." --Douglas Adams "A master, a genius of inventiveness and versatility, brilliant in his use of language, more adroit than almost any novelist since Dickens at working out a complex package of plot, sub-plot, and sub-sub-plot." --Daily TelegraphAbout the Author
