Right Ho, Jeeves

Many of you know I’m a huge fan of the British comedic author P.G. Wodehouse — especially his Jeeves and Wooster stories. What you may not know is that I’ve been dreaming of publishing my own edition of Right Ho, Jeeves since discovering it’s in the public domain. That dream has now come true and brings, just in time for the holidays, a much-needed chance for some sunshine and laughter.

In Right Ho, Jeeves, Wodehouse delivers one of his most dazzling farces, as Bertie Wooster tries to play matchmaker for his lovesick friends—only to leave chaos in his wake. Gussie Fink-Nottle’s timid pursuit of Madeline Bassett, Tuppy Glossop’s falling out with Angela, and Aunt Dahlia’s culinary-induced fury all end in a cascade of misadventures that only Jeeves, the mastermind puppeteer, can untangle. Wodehouse’s sparkling prose, razor-sharp wit, and dry British restraint never fail to part the clouds, letting sunshine and smiles brighten even the darkest day. 

As Stephen Fry, who played Jeeves on the award-winning British television series Jeeves and Wooster wrote, “You don’t analyze such sunlit perfection; you just bask in its warmth.” And he’s not the only admirer. John le Carré, the celebrated British spy novelist, once said: “No library, however humble, is complete without its well-thumbed copy of Right Ho, Jeeves.” Only then fan out, he says, to Ford Maddox Ford, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Tolstoy, etc.
