My Man Jeeves, first published in 1919, introduced the world to affable, indolent Bertie Wooster and his precise, capable valet, Jeeves. Some of the finest examples of humorous writing found in English literature are woven around the relationship between these two men of very different classes and temperaments. Where Bertie is impetuous and feeble, Jeeves is cool-headed and poised. This collection, the first book of Jeeves and Wooster stories, includes "Absent Treatment," "Helping Freddie," "Rallying Round Old George," "Doing Clarence a Bit of Good," "Fixing It for Freddie," and "Bertie Changes His Mind."

Review of 'My Man Jeeves' on 'Goodreads'

This book is a collection of short stories depicting London and New York in the beginning of the XX century. Most stories start with what we would now call a "first world problem", and the solution found for each one brings the plot to a series of funny twists and turns. Most stories are fun and there are some brilliant sentences waiting to be quoted. My favourite stories were "Doing Clarence a Bit of Good" and "Helping Freddie". Jeeves and Reggie save the day!
