Carry On, Jeeves - P. G. Wodehouse

1950 - Herbert Jenkins, London - Twelfth Printing
Early edition of this Jeeves classic collection of ten stories in the wonderful ‘20s style dust jacket.

Jeeves Takes Charge goes back in story-time to Jeeves arriving from the agency at Bertie's flat, curing his hangover and being instantly taken on, soon sacked and soon re-taken on. Bertie is engaged to Florence Craye here, not for the last time in the annals. We meet for the first and last time Bertie's Uncle Willoughby of Easeby, Shropshire, and, for the first time, Florence's disastrous kid brother, Edwin the Boy Scout. We find that Jeeves had once worked for their father, Lord Worplesdon. Bertie's forgetful friend Biffy is engaged to Honoria Glossop in The Rummy Affair of Old Biffy. We meet Bertie's Aunt Dahlia Travers (Clustering Round Young Bingo) and her paper Milady's Boudoir for which Bertie has written a 'piece'. And here are Bingo and Rosie Little, whose chef Anatole joins the Travers staff for many books and excitements to come. The last story Bertie Changes His Mind is the only one in the canon told by Jeeves.
