Collects Right Ho, Jeeves; Joy in the Morning; and Carry on, Jeeves

'If you haven't read PG Wodehouse in a hot bath with a snifter of whiskey and ideally a rubber duck for company, you haven't lived [...] A book that's a sheer joy to read.' INDEPENDENT

'To dive into a Wodehouse novel is to swim in some of the most elegantly turned phrases in the English language.' BEN SCHOTT
______________________
Jeeves may not always see eye to eye with Bertie Wooster on ties and fancy waistcoats, but he can always be relied on to whisk his young master spotlessly out of the soup (even if, for tactical reasons, he did drop him in it in the first place).

The paragon of Gentlemen's Personal Gentlemen shimmers through the pages in much the same way he did through the first Jeeves Omnibus. This volume contains one brilliant collection of short stories and two hilarious novels: Right Ho, Jeeves, Joy in the Morning and Carry On, Jeeves.

Medlemsvurdering:
Jeeves er ikke alltid enig med Bertie Wooster om valg av slips og flotte dressjakker, men han kan alltid stole på Jeeves når det gjelder å befri ham fra vanskelige situasjoner han havner oppi. Den urokkelige Jeeves blir enda mer tydelig som Bertie Woosters "Gentleman's Personal Gentleman" og fortsetter sitt arbeid i tjeneste hos den evig unge Bertie Wooster. Historiene i denne boken er "Carry on, Jeeves", "Right Ho, Jeeves" and "Joy in the Morning". Jeg blir aldri lei av å lese Wodehouse. Han har et enkelt og flott språk (når du lærer sjargongene å kjenne). Anbefales på det sterkeste!

– Jeeves er ikke alltid enig med Bertie Wooster om valg av slips og flotte dressjakker, men han kan alltid stole på Jeeves når det gjelder å befri ham fra vanskelige situasjoner han havner oppi. Den urokkelige Jeeves blir enda mer tydelig som Bertie Woosters "Gentleman's Personal Gentleman" og fortsetter sitt arbeid i tjeneste hos den evig unge Bertie Wooster. Historiene i denne boken er "Carry on, Jeeves", "Right Ho, Jeeves" and "Joy in the Morning". Jeg blir aldri lei av å lese Wodehouse.
