by P.G. Wodehouse

Meet the inimitable gentleman's gentleman, Jeeves... From the moment Jeeves glides into Bertie Wooster's life and provides him with a magical hangover cure, Bertie begins to wonder how he's ever managed without him. Jeeves makes himself totally indispensable in every way, disentangling the hapless Bertie from scrapes with formidable aunts, madcap girls and unbidden guests.

His ability to dig assorted fellows out of sundry holes is nothing short of miraculous. In short, the man is a paragon.

Thank You, Jeeves

The odds are stacked against Chuffy when he falls head over heels for American heiress Pauline Stoker. Who better to help him win her over but Jeeves, the perfect gentleman's gentleman?

But when Bertie, Pauline's ex-fiancé, finds himself caught up in the fray, much to his consternation, even Jeeves struggles to get Chuffy his fairy-tale ending.

Meanwhile, Bertie's dedicated but somewhat untuneful playing of the banjo has driven Jeeves, his otherwise steadfast gentleman's gentleman, to give notice. Looking for respite, Bertie disappears to the country as a guest of his chum Chuffy, only to find his peace shattered by the arrival of his ex-fiancée Pauline Stoker, her formidable father, and the eminent loony-doctor Sir Roderick Glossop.

It seems Bertie cannot survive for long without Jeeves - and soon a situation arises which only Jeeves can solve.

Very Good, Jeeves!

Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day

2000

by Winifred Watson

Miss Pettigrew, an approaching-middle-age governess, was accustomed to a household of unruly English children. When her employment agency sends her to the wrong address, her life takes an unexpected turn. The alluring nightclub singer, Delysia LaFosse, becomes her new employer, and Miss Pettigrew encounters a kind of glamour that she had only met before at the movies.

Over the course of a single day, both women are changed forever. It's a story of transformation, unexpected friendship, and the magic of stepping out of one's comfort zone.

The Comedy of Errors

The Comedy of Errors is a delightful tale revolving around two sets of twins who are separated at birth by a fierce storm at sea. The pairs include masters (both named Antipholus) and their servants (both named Dromio). Years later, the Antipholus-and-Dromio pair raised in Syracuse accidentally visit Ephesus, where their respective twins reside. This sets the stage for a series of hilarious incidents of mistaken identity, leading to lively plots filled with quarrels, arrests, and a grand courtroom denouement.

Based on a pair of comic dramas from ancient Rome, The Comedy of Errors is a spectacle of pure farce in the spirit of utmost fun and—as the title suggests—hilarious confusion. As one of Shakespeare's earliest dramatic efforts, the play is rich with his trademark conceits, puns, and other forms of fanciful wordplay. This work also foreshadows his later and greatest comedies, offering students and scholars a valuable key to the playwright's development.
