Originally published in 1919, Wodehouse's classic presents readers with a glimpse into the world of the upper class with Bertie Wooster and his valet, Jeeves. In the vignettes that followed, Jeeves showed his remarkable abilities to fix any problem and provide solutions to any troublesome situation that Bertie—or his friends—found themselves facing.
