Enter Jeeves: 15 Early Stories
P.G. Wodehouse
Another delight in the Wooster and Jeeves line. This book is a compilation of Jeeves stories that were originally written for various magazines. They are a bit shorter and the story line is not fleshed out like it is in his later Jeeves works. However, the bones are there and you just can't help but reading these stories. It is also interesting to see the progression of Jeeves from a supporting character into a main player. Also included in the book are a number of stories that center on a man named Reggie Pepper. He was the prototype for Bertie Wooster. It is a very interesting thing to be able to see where the author started and what aspects he keeps and what he throws in the development of a character or story. A must read for anyone who loves Wooster and Jeeves.
