'You don't analyse such sunlit perfection, you just bask in its warmth and splendour.' Stephen FryA Jeeves and Wooster collectionThese marvellous stories introduce us to Jeeves, whose first ever duty is to cure Bertie's raging hangover ('If you would drink this, sir... it is a little preparation of my own invention. It is the Worcester Sauce that gives it its colour. The raw egg makes it nutritious. The red pepper gives it its bite. Gentlemen have told me they have found it extremely invigorating after a late evening.')And from that moment, one of the funniest, sharpest and most touching partnerships in English literature never looks back...
While the stories are good to very good, the main problem is that if you're reading these by date of publication this volume has mostly stories reprinted from the former two. Might as well skip "My Man Jeeves" and it's not really easy to tell unless you look at all the titles on Wikipedia beforehand. Make the review 4.5 stars otherwise.
Right pleasant application of the old bean.
