Book Reviews of The Inimitable Jeeves (The Collector's Wodehouse)
Book Review: The Best of the Best
Summary: 5 Stars
The Twenties produced several notable works of fiction, and right there in with the best of them is this, the most delightful of all the Jeeves and Wooster entries.
Composed of a running series of short stories originally published in the Strand and Cosmopolitan magazines, "The Initimable Jeeves" achieves its distinction through the remarkable quality level of the stories combined with the full blossoming of two of the more notable and best-loved characters in all of fiction, Bertie Wooster and Jeeves. They would be paired again many times, but here they are given probably the best pure story material they would ever enjoy.
This was one of the most popular books of the twenties; first published in 1923, in a decade and a half it sold over 3 million copies. To put that figure in perspective, "Gone With the Wind" , the best-seller to end all best-sellers, needed a full decade to surpass 3 million in sales. (Though admittedly Margaret Mitchell's tome came at a much steeper price!)
If you like Wodehouse you'll love "The Inimitable Jeeves".
Fans of the Hugh Laurie Television series will discover more episodes were adapted from this book than any two of the rest!
