The Mating Season
Summary
When Gussie Fink-Nottle, after a convivial evening with "Catsmeat" Pinbright, was sentenced to 14 days without the option for wading in the fountain at Trafalgar Square, Bertie Wooster saw the red light. For Gussie was an expected guest at Deverill Hall, and clearly his enforced absence would give rise to immediate inquiries. From this point it would be but a short step to complete revelation of the scandalous details of his escapade; and Bertram well knew what would be the effect of this intelligence on Gussie's fiancei, Madeline. As always when a rift appeared in her love affairs, Madeline would transfer her simpering affection to Bertram, and the grim prospect of having to endure the grand passion of this female stimulated Bertie to the sternest of endeavors to forestall catastrophe. But as usual, Bertie's involvement causes further entanglement, which only Jeeves can unravel.

Best known for his Jeeves series, Wodehouse created the most resourseful and competent servant in literature, the word "Jeeves" itself has become part of the vernacular. Wodehouse also had great success as a musical theater lyricist, making contributions to "Show Boat" and "Anything Goes". Born in England to a noble family, Wodehouse's writings reflected his background, a truly humourous perspective on the upper class.

Living into his nineties, Wodehouse enjoyed the fruits of his labor and acclaim worldwide, a happy, funny man.

Pigs Have Wings
Summary
In Pigs Have Wings, affably potty Lord Emsworth is embroiled in a fierce pig-rearing battle with his obese neighbour, Sir Gregory Parsloe-Parsloe. Tossed in for good measure: romantic entanglements, some dubious detective work and a fearful dieting product called 'Slimmo'. Blandings is also never complete without the resourcefulness of canny Gally Threepwood, the staunchness of 'man mountain' butler Beach and the stentorian tones of Lady Constance ringing around its batty corridors (there's even an imposter or two). Naturally a pig-napping is afoot, but who will have the last oink?

Leave It to Psmith
Summary
Psmith (the “P” is silent) has been invited to Blandings Castle. But the conditions under which he received his invitation are suspect. Probably because he is a suspect. Doddering old Lord Emsworth has, indeed, extended an invitation for Psmith to come stay. However, his Lordship was under the impression that the sharp and attentive Psmith was in fact, the irascible poet Ralston McTodd. But the quick-witted and resourceful Psmith knows a good thing when he sees one, and immediately puts several plans in motion. True, one of which does include the purloining of Lady Constance’s jewels, but another concerns a certain lady whom Psmith saw standing in the rain earlier, and felt obliged to present with an umbrella. Never mind that the umbrella wasn’t his.
