Where to start with P. G. Wodehouse
Begin with My Man Jeeves, the first book in the Carry On, Jeeves series, which introduces the enduring partnership between the young Bertie Wooster and his resourceful valet, Jeeves. Proceed in publication order through the Carry On, Jeeves series, which spans from 1916 to 1925. This sequence allows for a gradual immersion into the world of Bertie’s social entanglements and Jeeves’s calm, effective solutions. The stories are self-contained yet build a consistent tone and character development. After completing the Carry On, Jeeves series, move to the Blandings Castle series, starting with Something Fresh, which features the well-meaning but absent-minded Lord Emsworth and the eccentric residents of Blandings Castle. The narrative structure and recurring characters in these series reflect Wodehouse’s enduring focus on upper-class English life and the quiet resolution of chaos.
