Two stories with Jeeves, brilliant stories, and then Wodehouse introduces a character I've never read named Reggie Pepper, who's as bone-headed and hilarious as any Wodehouse created. I read this as part of a brilliant Goodreads group called "Reading Wodehouse" for the January 2015 read. I was drawn to the collection because of the title story, which was one of Wodehouse's only murder mystery stories. It was good; it didn't have the characteristic antics and quips, but it featured a great character named Ms. Snyder who reminded me of Jeeves. The story "Jeeves in the Springtime" made me snort. Wooster runs into an old friend who's wearing a hideous necktie and he's repulsed by it apparently: "My God, man!" I gargled. "The cravat! The gent's neckwear! Why? For what reason?" The last four stories are full of these quips and hijinks, not to mention some wonderful plot twists. I would recommend this collection to anyone.

HTML: Although P.G. Wodehouse is best known as a writer of humorous fiction, he also tried his hand at other genres, as well. The title story in this wide-ranging collection is a detective story, albeit one that is served up with a heaping dollop of the hilarity for which Wodehouse's work is acclaimed. This comprehensive collection of short pieces from Wodehouse is a perfect introduction to his unique style. .No library descriptions found. |

An interesting collection of short stories - I had read the 2 Jeeves stories before but the rest were new to me. I especially liked the 2 Reggie Pepper stories: "Concealed Art" and "The Test Case". ( )
