Book Description
On the 25th anniversary of Wodehouse's death, booksellers and readers will be cheered to find the finest editions available of his classic novels--the first in a series of his best known works--by one of the greatest English comic writers of our time.
Fans devoted to the master of comic fiction P. G. Wodehouse are legion. He represents an antic high point in the world of farce and social satire. Best known for the creation of two fictional worlds based on Blandings Castle and the Wooster-Jeeves gentleman-valet duo, Wodehouse is appreciated the world over for his exceedingly clever and comically savvy send-ups of the idle rich in Edwardian England.
In The Code of the Woosters, it takes all the ingenuity of Jeeves, the "gentleman's gentleman" extraordinaire, to rescue his hapless and hopelessly obtuse young employer, Bertie Wooster, from the pickle of a plot to steal a silver jug from the home of an irascible magistrate.
With each volume edited and reset and printed on Scottish cream-wove, acid-free paper, sewn and bound in cloth, these novels are elegant additions to any Wodehouse fan's library.
Code of the Woosters ANNOTATION
Berties Wooster is rescued from more bumbling escapades by gentleman's gentleman, Jeeves.
FROM THE PUBLISHER
P.G.Wodehouse's best-loved creation by far is the master-servant team of Bertie Wooster, the likable nitwit, and Jeeves, his effortlessly superior valet and protector. This unlikely duo is as famous as Holmes and Watson, Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, and Tracy and Hepburn, but they have their own very special inimitable charm. According to Walter Clemons, Newsweek, "They are at their best in The Code of the Woosters," in which Bertie is rescued from his bumbling escapades time and time again by that gentleman's gentleman: Jeeves.

Internet Book Watch
P.G. Wodehouse's delightful English comedy, The Code Of The Woosters has been beautifully adapted and directed as a stage play Mark Richard and produced in audiobook form with a nine member cast bringing Bertie Wooster, his unflappable butler Jeeves and a host of characters to life. Bertie's beloved Aunt Dahlia pressures him into stealing a cow-shaped silver creamer and that launches another merry mix-up of laughs, gaffs, and frustrated romances in true Wodehouse style. The Code Of The Woosters is a superbly entertaining, 121 minute, two cassette "theatre of the mind" production that is a "must" for all Wodehouse fans. Also very highly recommended is the L.A. Theatre Works production of Wodehouse's Thank You, Jeeves (1-58081-119-1, $19.95).
