Publisher's Summary
“I have the honour to offer up to you, thanks to the good people of Audible, a selection of some of my very favourite Wodehouse. If these stories are new to you I hope it will be the beginning of a lifelong pleasure, if some or all are familiar I hope you will welcome them like old friends.” (Stephen Fry)
Audible Studios presents this brand new performance by Stephen Fry of some of his favourite Jeeves stories from P.G. Wodehouse, with an exclusive introduction.
The Jeeves Collection contains:
The Inimitable Jeeves
A classic collection of 11 stories featuring some of the funniest episodes in the life of Bertie Wooster, gentleman, and Jeeves, his gentleman's gentleman - in which Bertie's terrifying Aunt Agatha appears, seeking whom she may devour, while Bertie's friend Bingo Little falls in love with seven different girls in succession (including the best-selling romantic novelist Rosie M. Banks). And Bertie, with Jeeves's help, hopes to evade the clutches of the terrifying Honoria Glossop.
Carry On Jeeves
10 more marvellous stories introduce us to Jeeves, whose first ever duty is to cure Bertie's raging hangover ('If you would drink this, sir...it is a little preparation of my own invention. It is the Worcester Sauce that gives it its colour. The raw egg makes it nutritious. The red pepper gives it its bite. Gentlemen have told me they have found it extremely invigorating after a late evening.')
Right-Ho Jeeves
The second full-length novel featuring Jeeves and Bertie Wooster, after Thank You, Jeeves. The story is mostly set at Brinkley Court, the home of Bertie's Aunt Dahlia, and introduces the recurring characters Gussie Fink-Nottle and Madeline Bassett. Bertie's friend Tuppy Glossop and cousin Angela Travers also feature in the novel, as does Brinkley Court's prized chef, Anatole.
The Code of the Woosters
The third full-length novel to feature Bertie Wooster and his valet Jeeves. It introduces Sir Watkyn Bassett, the owner of a country house called Totleigh Towers, where the story takes place, and his intimidating friend Roderick Spode. It is also a sequel to Right Ho, Jeeves, continuing the story of Bertie's newt-fancying friend Gussie Fink-Nottle and Gussie's droopy and overly sentimental fiancée, Madeline Bassett.
Joy in the Morning
Bertie is persuaded to brave the home of his fearsome Aunt Agatha and her husband Lord Worplesdon, knowing that his former fiancée, the beautiful and formidably intellectual Lady Florence Craye will also be in attendance.

Magnificent!
Wodehouse and , especially, Jeeves and Bertie Wooster, need no introduction from me but if anyone can improve the experience of reading the books, it is listening to Stephen Fry.

Jeeves & Bertie Wooster as good as it gets
Stephen Fry is superb in this collection of Wodehouse's stories, voicing all the characters' voices as I've imagined them to sound from reading the books. I thoroughly enjoyed this, all 40 hours of it, heard while driving in my transport business. It brought back many memories of reading these stories in the late '80s. Highly recommended to all Wodehouse fans.

The best of the best comedy prose
Wodehouse is a genius of comedic turns of phrase, as demonstrated by the capacity of his work to hold up over the course of a century. I'd you haven't read this, I am sorry.

Jeeves in full flight as read by Stephen fry.
Jeeves has always sounded like Stephen fry, in my minds ear/ eye. Thoroughly enjoyed the lilt of language from another age. Sagacity and humour combined in a Confucian display.

Perfection
After a year of Covid and scary politics, a dose of Bertie and Jeeves is balm to the spirit.
Stephen Fry’s reading is acting of the first order. He IS Jeeves and Bertie and Aunt Agatha and the rest of the crew. Absolutely top drawer. Thank you Mr Fry!
