Many of the stories had previously appeared in magazines and some were rewritten versions of stories in the collection My Man Jeeves (1919).
 
Author Bio: P.G. (Pelham Grenville) Wodehouse (1881–1975) was an English author and one of the most widely read humorists of the 20th century. His most-famous characters were the feather-brained Bertie Wooster and his sagacious valet, Jeeves. Wodehouse was a prolific writer throughout his life, publishing more than ninety books, forty plays, two hundred short stories and other writings between 1902 and 1974.
