Thank You, Jeeves is a Jeeves novel by P.G. Wodehouse, first published in the U.K. on March 16 1934 by Herbert Jenkins, London, and in the United States on April 23 1931 by Little, Brown and Company, New York. The story had previously been serialised, in the Strand Magazine in the U.K. from August 1933 to Fabruary 1934, and in the U.S. in Cosmopolitan from January to June 1934; it would later appear in the American Family Herald & Evening Star, between March 24 and August 11, 1937

After a falling out concerning Bertie's playing of the banjolele, Jeeves leaves Bertie's service and finds work with Bertie's old friend, Lord "Chuffy" Chuffnell, of Chuffnell Hall, Chuffnell Regis, Dorset. He is replaced by Brinkley, a most unsatisfactory valet (who is referred to as "Bingley" in some later books), and together they travel to Dorset for some country air.

Chuffy, whose high rank is only matched by his low financial status, hopes to sell his family home to raise cash, and needs Jeeves' help in persuading millionaire J. Washburn Stoker to stump up the cash, funding a scheme to create a mental hospital to be run by Sir Roderick Glossop. Stoker's daughter, the beautiful Pauline, is not only a former fiancee of Bertie, but also the object of Chuffy's meek affections. Stoker himself, meanwhile, covets the talents of valet extraordinaire Jeeves.

Of course all kinds of confusion ensues, but fortunately Jeeves' enormous brain enables him to unravel everything satisfactorily.
