Which story do you recommend first?
- fiddlerwoaroof 6y agoIt doesn’t really matter, I think the various Jeeves and Wooster stories are probably better than most of his other stories, but they’re all hilarious. If you insist on following the stories chronologically, I think the very first one was published under the title “Jeeves takes charge”
- pseudolus 6y agoI will interject here and recommend "The Code of the Woosters". It's Wodehouse at his apex.
- kinleyd 6y agoYes, that would be an excellent entry point!
- golem14 6y agoMy personal favorites are the audiobook "Blandings Castle" narrated by James Saxon, and "Jeeves in the Morning" narrated by Jonathan Cecil. Excellent for long trips driving a car.
- mangamadaiyan 6y agoAs others here have said, any is as good as the other. That said, the short story "Jeeves Takes Charge" in the collection "Carry On, Jeeves" is where it all begins with Bertie and Jeeves. If you're looking for a beginning, this would be it.
