Summary
Bertie may be in danger of having his spine severed in five places by that jealous gorilla G。 D'Arcy （Stilton） Cheesewright， but， as Jeeves insists， the priorities still have to be observed。 And so， thanks to Jeeves， they are throughout this bumper volume， whatever mayhem may be loosed upon the befuddled head and generous heart of Bertram Wilberforce Wooster。
Gathered in this volume are three of Wodehouse's hilarious Jeeves and Wooster novels: Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit， Stiff Upper Lip and Jeeves and Jeeves in the Offing。

Everyone should read a P。G。 Wodehouse novel every once in a while！ Comedies of error with a nice touch！

I love PG Wodehouse's writing。 It is today as comic and charming as it ever was。 A true comic writer。 This is the 4th in the series and while the plots are not as crisp as the earlier omnibuses， it is still a delight to read。 I love PG Wodehouse's writing。 It is today as comic and charming as it ever was。 A true comic writer。 This is the 4th in the series and while the plots are not as crisp as the earlier omnibuses， it is still a delight to read。 。。。more

"He eyed me speculatively， heaving gently like a saucepan of porridge about to reach the height of its fever。""。。。a man about seven feet in height with a square， powerful face， slightly moustached towards the centre。" "He eyed me speculatively， heaving gently like a saucepan of porridge about to reach the height of its fever。""。。。a man about seven feet in height with a square， powerful face， slightly moustached towards the centre。" 。。。more

Three of my favorite Wooster and Jeeves novels

Wonderful。 Delightful， albiet a bit repetetive。 Having read the prior three volumes， it felt very similar， only with different characters plaguing Wooster。 Even so， a nice light read。

I remain utterly befuddled as to the decision to publish these omnibus editions in a jumbled order。 These three novels， however， are in the correct run。 Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit and Jeeves in the Offing are both classics。 Stiff Upper Lip， Jeeves is one of the less successful novels in the series， but still has its charms。

This collection of stories hangs together quite well。 They were written （almost） consecutively， all have Aunt Agatha in and all have Wooster getting into trouble whilst staying in country homes。 The later two stories even have references to the previous tales herein so the they read together well。That said。。。 it may be that all the Jeeves stories are like this; I've read the 2nd Omnibus collection and the 'My Man Jeeves' collection and can honestly say I can't remember the plots or settings of a This collection of stories hangs together quite well。 They were written （almost） consecutively， all have Aunt Agatha in and all have Wooster getting into trouble whilst staying in country homes。 The later two stories even have references to the previous tales herein so the they read together well。That said。。。 it may be that all the Jeeves stories are like this; I've read the 2nd Omnibus collection and the 'My Man Jeeves' collection and can honestly say I can't remember the plots or settings of any of them。 Indeed my memory of this collection is also fast fading leaving only the flavour behind。Wodehouse established a very cosy niche; the plot and characters only need to be established in outline as all that is needed is Wooster telling the story in his own words and phrases。 A delightful buffoon。 The classic sieve-minded English Gentleman。 A harmless， helpless fool。 But paired with the brilliant Jeeves this all turns to gold。 If Wooster's phrases and inanity grate then you'll never love these stories as there's not much else to them。 Easy reading， a pleasant time filler and quickly forgotten。 As such these omnibus editions feel too long to read straight through; your mind cries out for something more substantial。You really want to get to know Jeeves better。 He's a bit like the shadows in Plato's cave or a 'Deus ex machina' that emerges from stage left and then fades into the background。 You'd really like to understand more about Wooster's finances， his parents， what sort of Girl he would want to marry and why he doesn't do anything other than drink cocktails and be manipulated by other people。 But if that happened they wouldn't be the affable Jeeves stories that everyone likes。 。。。more

More of the same :-DIf you like the well used recipe of Wodehouse writing about Bertie Wooster in trouble and Jeeves rescuing him， then you'll enjoy this volume。 Otherwise you'll find it a bit same-y。 I confess that on finishing this volume the third stories had blurred into one and I couldn't immediately recall the differences between 'Feudal Spirit'， 'Offing' & 'Stiff Upper Lip'。 But what I could recall was the intense pleasure I got from reading each one and the aching cheek muscles from grin More of the same :-DIf you like the well used recipe of Wodehouse writing about Bertie Wooster in trouble and Jeeves rescuing him， then you'll enjoy this volume。 Otherwise you'll find it a bit same-y。 I confess that on finishing this volume the third stories had blurred into one and I couldn't immediately recall the differences between 'Feudal Spirit'， 'Offing' & 'Stiff Upper Lip'。 But what I could recall was the intense pleasure I got from reading each one and the aching cheek muscles from grinning inanely at Bertie's many mishaps。And like a comedian's catch phrase， I like to tick each familiar element of a Jeeves & Wooster story as they appear: ~ pinching policeman's helmet ~ winning the Scripture knowledge prize ~ stars are God's daisy chain ~ writing a piece on what a well-dressed man is wearing ~ Jael's spike ~ Aunt Agatha eating her young etc。 etc。 。。。more

More of the same as in previous Jeeves Omnibuses: Bertie gets into trouble， Jeeves gets him out of it; a recipe that P。G。 Wodehouse never seemed to tire of。
