Collects Right Ho, Jeeves; Joy in the Morning; and Carry on, Jeeves ''If you haven''t read PG Wodehouse in a hot bath with a snifter of whiskey and ideally a rubber duck for company, you haven''t lived [...] A book that''s a sheer joy to read.'' INDEPENDENT ''To dive into a Wodehouse novel is to swim in some of the most elegantly turned phrases in the English language.'' BEN SCHOTT ______________________ Jeeves may not always see eye to eye with Bertie Wooster on ties and fancy waistcoats, but he can always be relied on to whisk his young master spotlessly out of the soup (even if, for tactical reasons, he did drop him in it in the first place).The paragon of Gentlemen''s Personal Gentlemen shimmers through the pages in much the same way he did through the first Jeeves Omnibus. This volume contains one brilliant collection of short stories and two hilarious novels: Right Ho, Jeeves , Joy in the Morning and Carry On, Jeeves .

Jeeves in the Offing - P. G. Wodehouse - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

Jeeves in the Offing - P. G. Wodehouse - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

_______________________________ A Jeeves and Wooster novel Jeeves is on holiday in Herne Bay, and while he''s away the world caves in on Bertie Wooster. For a start, he''s astonished to read in The Times of his engagement to the mercurial Bobbie Wickham. Then at Brinkley Court, his Aunt Dahlia''s establishment, he finds his awful former head master in attendance ready to award the prizes at Market Snodsbury Grammar School. And finally the Brinkley butler turns out for reasons of his own to be Bertie''s nemesis in disguise, the brain surgeon Sir Roderick Glossop.With all occasions informing against him, Bertie has to hightail it to Herne Bay to liberate Jeeves from his shrimping net. And after that, the fun really starts. ‘I picked up Jeeves in the Offing recently, having not read PG Wodehouse for years. Half an hour later I was still reading and laughing. He can develop a comic idea and deliver the payoff over a chapter, a paragraph, or a single sentence.’ Sadie Jones (in the Guardian )

Highballs for Breakfast - P. G. Wodehouse - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

Highballs for Breakfast - P. G. Wodehouse - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

''A splendid anthology'' The Times No writer knew better than PG Wodehouse how a drink can lift the spirits – and he was a master at the high comic effects of having a few too many. Highballs for Breakfast is a handpicked selection of wit, wisdom and comic moments from Wodehouse’s work that involve getting pickled or plastered, or lathered or sozzled, and getting in and out of all manner of scrapes.If some great writers dwelled on the darker side of drinking, Wodehouse was concerned with the pure pleasure to be had from ‘the magic bottle’ and getting outside of the contents of a tall glass. His imperishable writing displays a well-turned appreciation for all kinds of booze – cocktails, champagne, port, whiskey and brandy (with soda, of course); but also the humble pint, and even the infamous poteen.This sparkling collection captures Wodehouse at his best on being terribly thirsty, or drowning one’s sorrows, or knocking one back for Dutch courage. It finds him celebrating the special atmospheres of the English country pub and the Manhattan barroom. And it shows him to be exceptionally good on hangovers, but equally so on hangover cures, such as the legendary pick-me-ups prepared for Bertie Wooster by the dependable Jeeves.For all lovers of a laugh and a drink, Highballs for Breakfast is a tonic, a bracer, and a tissue-restorer.
