<p>Containing drafts of stories later rewritten for other collections (including <i>Carry On, Jeeves</i>), <i>My Man Jeeves</i> offers a fascinating insight into the genesis of comic literature''s most celebrated double-act. All the stories are set in New York, four of them featuring Jeeves and Wooster themselves; the rest concerning Reggie Pepper, an earlier version of Bertie. Plots involve the usual cast of amiable young clots, choleric millionaires, chorus-girls and vulpine aunts, but towering over them all is the inscrutable figure of Jeeves, manipulating the action from behind the scenes.<br>Early or not, these stories are masterly examples of Wodehouse''s art,turning the most ordinary incidents into golden farce.</p>
