Summary "My Man Jeeves" by P. G. Wodehouse is a collection of humorous stories written during the early 20th century, specifically in the post-World War I era. The book introduces readers to the charming but inept Bertie Wooster and his supremely capable valet, Jeeves, who often saves the day from Bertie's well-meaning but misguided escapades. The stories are filled with witty dialogue, social satire, and the kind of comedic misunderstandings that showcase Wodehouse's distinctive style. The opening of "My Man Jeeves" sets the stage for the adventures of Bertie and Jeeves. It begins with Bertie expressing his reliance on Jeeves's seemingly boundless knowledge and wisdom, as he recounts several hilarious anecdotes about his misadventures, particularly regarding sartorial choices and betting misfortunes. We are introduced to Bruce Corcoran, an artist struggling with familial expectations, and his fiancé, Muriel Singer. The perfect blend of Bertie's humorous narrative and Jeeves's calm, intelligent responses highlights their unique relationship, as Bertie inevitably turns to Jeeves for solutions to the problems that arise, illustrating the charm and wit that characterize Wodehouse's beloved characters.
