Very Good, Jeeves

'Sublime comic genius... light as a feather... fabulous' Ben Elton

'Ever since I picked up my dad's copy of Very Good, Jeeves aged eleven, I've adored P. G. Wodehouse' Anna Care

Join Bertie Wooster and his gentleman's gentleman, Jeeves, in their adventures with eleven laugh-out-loud funny short stories from the perennial comic, P. G. Wodehouse.

Fun-loving Bertie and his friends are always getting themselves into scrapes, and it's up to Jeeves to fix the mess they leave behind. Whether it's helping Bertie recover his Aunt Agatha's lost dog, plot revenge against his old pal Tuppy Glossop, or navigate numerous love interests - Jeeves has always got an answer. After all, all's well that ends well - even if it's rarely as Bertie plans.

Reviews

The most important book of the year ... Here it is, laid bare: cartel as corporation, corporation as cartel; cocaine as pure capitalism ... Saviano realises the brutal truth: that to understand narco-traffic is to understand the modern world ... it is revolutionary

—— Ed Vulliamy , Observer

Impassioned . . . a literary style that switches from vivid descriptions of human depravity to a philosophical consideration of the meaning of violence in the modern world.

—— Misha Glenny , Financial Times

Vivid . . . lands a resounding thump to the solar plexus

—— Economist

A powerful work of reportage . . . it goes to the heart of the financial sector's dependence on drug capital and its depredations

—— Ian Thomson , Telegraph

After reading Saviano, it becomes impossible to see Italy, and the global market, in the same way again.

—— The New York Times

Saviano is a blazingly vivid and courageous writer.

—— Independent

Saviano has an astonishing ability to write luminously yet subtly about terrible things.

—— Le Parisien

A national hero.

—— Umberto Eco

Brave and passionate

—— Guardian

Saviano should be commended for his bravery, and supported by all who share his revulsion.

—— Observer
