The Man with Two Left Feet

P. G. Wodehouse

Book Overview: 

The Man With Two Left Feet, and Other Stories is a collection of short stories by P. G. Wodehouse, all the stories had previously appeared in periodicals, usually the Strand in the UK and the Red Book magazine or the Saturday Evening Post in the US. It is a fairly miscellaneous collection — most of the stories concern relationships, sports and household pets, and do not feature any of Wodehouse's regular characters; one, however, "Extricating Young Gussie", is notable for the first appearance in print of two of Wodehouse's best-known characters, Jeeves and his master Bertie Wooster (although Bertie's surname isn't given and Jeeves's role is very small), and Bertie's fearsome Aunt Agatha.

Book Excerpt: 
. . .To me there was no charm whatever about Mary Campbell. It may have been that, at the moment, I was in love with Grace Bates, Heloise Miller, and Clarice Wembley—for at Marois Bay, in the summer, a man who is worth his salt is more than equal to three love affairs simultaneously—but anyway, she left me cold. Not one thrill could she awake in me. She was small and, to my mind, insignificant. Some men said that she had fine eyes. They seemed to me just ordinary eyes. And her hair was just ordinary hair. In fact, ordinary was the word that described her.

But from the first it was plain that she seemed wonderful with Wilton, which was all the more remarkable, seeing that he was the one man of us all who could have got any girl in Marois Bay that he wanted. When a man is six foot high, is a combination of Hercules and Apollo, and plays tennis, golf, and the banjo with almost superhuman vim, his path with the girls of a summer seaside resort is . . . Read More

I have to say this is a perfect little book. As I wondered what to rate it, I thought, 'well, they're nice stories, they make me feel good, they are perfectly written.....' It has to be 5-stars. I've read a few of Wodehouse's books, particularly enjoy the whimsy of his Jeeves and Wooster stories. Th

مجموعه سیزده داستانه، که درونمایه طنز دارن و به طور کلی میشه گفته همه‌شون حول محور «رابطه» می‌چرخه. ولی نه لزوما رابطه عاشقانه. دوتا از داستان‌ها از زبون دو سگ بامزه بود. و به طور کلی میشه گفت جالب بود.
من نسخه صوتی رو، در مسیرهایی که حدود یک ساعت طول می‌کشیدن گوش می‌دادم، تا بتونم یه داستان رو همه ش

Mostly a very enjoyable selection. As with most short story collections there are some that are funnier than others, and some that stick out and make you laugh. Stand outs for me were 'The Mixer' (written from the perspective of a dog), 'Wilton's Holiday' (when a lie catches up with our protagonist)

Some very early short stories, including the first brief appearance of Jeeves. My favorite story was At Geisenheimer's, which I cannot recommend highly enough.

One of the joys of writing short stories is getting to write something different. In this book the wonderful P.G. Wodehouse of 'Jeeves' fame, has only one Jeeves story in it. Some of the stories aren't even funny. Two of them are through the POV of a dog.
There is lots of romance 1920's style mostl

Really early Wodehouse here, this collection might even count as juvenilia. No Wodehouse is pointless to read, but here we’re looking at the development of The Master - the faltering, sometimes strange steps of The Master - rather than The Master himself. As usual I’ve reviewed each tale as I've com

I’m sorry to say that this collection of short stories was a bit of a disappointment after my enthusiastic encounter with the Jeeves & Wooster stories. These stories were extremely varied; some of them were fun and entertaining, but some were a bit bland and left little impression on me. They were w
