My Man Jeeves

$5.76

“I was so darned sorry for poor old Corky that I hadn’t the heart to touch my breakfast. I told Jeeves to drink it himself.”

Who can ever forget our timeless and beloved gentleman's personal gentleman, Jeeves, forever coming to the rescue when the hapless Bertie Wooster gets into trouble?

Bertie Wooster is an amiable but not terribly bright English gentleman. (As he says, “I’m a bit short on brain myself; the old bean would appear to have been constructed more for ornament than for use, don’t you know”).

His “man,” Jeeves, is the quintessential unobtrusive English valet with not only “genius for preserving a trouser-crease,” but also a penchant for solving the various problems of Bertie and his friends.

My Man Jeeves was created for anyone with a taste for pithy buffoonery, moronic misunderstandings, and aristocratic slapstick.
