My Man Jeeves WODEHOUSE, P.G. [Pelham Grenville] (1881-1975) Literature

[Humour] FIRST EDITION, first impression [Butler and Tanner Printers]. Octavo (18 x 12cm), pp. 251 [3]. Publisher's tan cloth, titled and decorated in black to spine, blind-stamped ornament to front cover. A used copy showing some acceptable wear and soiling, cheap paper toned as usual, ink name to endpaper, contents shaken within case. 'My Man Jeeves' introduced the world to affable, indolent Bertie Wooster and his precise, capable valet, Jeeves. Some of the finest examples of humorous writing found in English literature are woven around the relationship between these two men of very different classes and temperaments. Where Bertie is impetuous and feeble, Jeeves is cool-headed and poised. McIlvaine A22a.
