First published 2011
Bertie Wooster—wealthy, well-meaning, and spectacularly incompetent—stumbles through London's social landscape like a bull in a china shop. His formidable Aunt Agatha demands he intervene in a friend's engagement, a task guaranteed to produce maximum embarrassment. Enter Jeeves, Bertie's supremely intelligent valet, who possesses an almost supernatural ability to untangle his master's catastrophic schemes. As romantic entanglements multiply and social expectations threaten to crush Bertie's carefree existence, only Jeeves' razor-sharp wit can prevent total social destruction. Each intervention becomes a delicate dance of manipulation, misdirection, and miraculous problem-solving that saves Bertie from certain humiliation. In a world of rigid aristocratic expectations, one man's bumbling charm meets another's calculated brilliance.
