“My Man Jeeves” (1919) is a collection of eight short stories written by the prolific humor writer and playwright, P.G. Wodehouse. Half of the stories feature aristocratic playboy Bertie Wooster and his sagacious iconic butler, Jeeves, and the rest concern Reggie Pepper, an early prototype for Bertie Wooster. All of the stories originally appeared in the US in The Saturday Evening Post or Collier’s Weekly and in The Strand in the UK. This is the first of many beloved Jeeves collections such as “Right Ho, Jeeves”, “Carry On Jeeves”, and “The Inimitable Jeeves”.
