Oh, what fun! Made me smile and giggle throughout. My first Jeeves and Wooster and, apart from a very short story, Wodehouse is also new to me. This is a collection of interconnected short stories of Bertie Wooster getting into situations with family and friends and Jeeves, his butler coming to the rescue. His friend Bingo Little features in several of the stories, continually falling in love, inappropriately, at first sight, and also Bertie's young cousins and his aunt Agatha.  Witty and full of sarcastic humour, and I loved the language Wodehouse uses. I needed a break from my usual, more heavy reads, and this definitely fitted the bill. I have a collection of Jeeves and Wooster stories on audible, read by Stephen Fry, and I will definitely listen to the others when I need a giggle.
