Books - The Inimitable Jeeves

The Inimitable Jeeves is a collection of eleven Jeeves stories by P. G. Wodehouse, first published in the U.K. by Herbert Jenkins, London, on May 17 1923, and in the U.S. by George H. Doran, New York on September 28 1923, under the title Jeeves.

Many of the stories had previously appeared in the Strand Magazine in the U.K. between 1921 and 1922; one section, Jeeves and the Chump Cyril, appeared in The Saturday Evening Post in the U.S. in 1918. It was the second collection of Jeeves stories, after My Man Jeeves
of 1919; the next collection would be Carry on, Jeeves
, in 1925.

When first printed, the book was divided into eighteen chapters; it is now more commonly printed with several of the chapters combined to form eleven independent stories. All of the short stories are connected and most of them involve Bertie's friend Bingo Little, who is always falling in love.
