![]() ![]() With Reggie I found myself not caring either way.The Jeeves and Wooster stories themselves are entertaining as always, though a little straightforward by the standard set elsewhere. With Bertie I always find myself wanting everything to turn out all right. The slight change in style between the stories of the two characters is refreshing for a few pages, but the Reggie Pepper stories lack the charm held by the Bertie Wooster stories. The book also contains some stories about Reggie Pepper, who the back cover insists is an earlier version of Bertie. I resorted to the back cover of the book which informed me that this book contains drafts of stories later re-written for other collections, which would explain that. Having read a couple of the short stories I thought they seemed very familiar. My Man Jeeves is the first of the short story collections about Bertie Wooster and his man, as it were, Jeeves. ![]()
