P. G. Wodehouse 
The Inimitable Jeeves 

When either Bertie Wooster or his friends found themselves in the soup or in dangerous proximity to the tureen, the instinct of one all was to turn to Jeeves-Bertie's man. He understood human nature, especially that of gilded youth.
It did not matter if the hope of an ancient house had fallen in love with a waitress, or if Bertie's cousins Claude and Eustace had been playing dido; Jeeves never failed. His was a sound brain.

In this volume are told some of Jeeves's more remarkable achievements.
