First published 2011
In the genteel world of British aristocracy, Bertie Wooster is a walking disaster waiting to happen. His latest predicament involves a furious aunt demanding he end an engagement, a series of increasingly complicated social obligations, and a potential romantic catastrophe. With his brilliant valet Jeeves as the ultimate strategist, Bertie must navigate a minefield of social expectations, misunderstandings, and potential humiliation. Each attempted solution threatens to unravel more spectacularly than the last, pushing Bertie closer to social ruin. But Jeeves always has a plan—intricate, unexpected, and invariably successful—that will rescue Bertie from certain embarrassment while preserving his carefree lifestyle. Some men solve problems; Jeeves makes problems disappear.
