London: Methuen & Co,, 1934. Later edition, in the rare jacket, of this collection of 13 short stories. The second story, "Extricating Young Gussie", introduces the author's best-known characters: a young Englishman named Bertie (his surname is not mentioned) is attended by a valet named Jeeves. The pair are beset by the monstrous Aunt Agatha, who sends them to New York on an errand. Years later, Wodehouse wrote in The World of Jeeves: "I blush to think of the offhand way I treated him at our first encounter". The stories were serialized in various English and American magazines, including The Strand Magazine, The Red Book Magazine, and The Saturday Evening Post. This is the 13th edition, it was first published in 1917 and the later American edition was printed in 1933 with slight differences in contents. Small octavo. Original blue boards, spine lettered and decorated in black, front cover with a ruled border in black. With dust jacket. Contemporary school prize bookplate. Spine lightly sunned, extremities rubbed, foxing to edges and outer leaves; jacket a little soiled, spine slightly faded, a few nicks and short closed tears to edges, two tape repairs on verso, long crease to front flap, unclipped: a very good copy in like jacket. McIlvaine A21a (13).
