 The Ask.com Blog: Thanks, Jeeves   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
It's funny, when you consider that he's just a static drawing of a butler-ish figure on a website (and that he was very nearly a "wise owl" or a "wizard" rather than a butler), how much the Jeeves character has come to mean for people over the years.
But even for these people, Jeeves means something -- a place to go to ask questions -- and in their minds it will be difficult to ever think of him as anything more.

Wodehouse hit his stride in the 1920s (at approximately the age of forty!), and Right Ho, Jeeves, the latest work published here, dates from 1934, so these are works from the beginning of his greatest period, which, for my money, runs to the mid-1950s (Wodehouse lived until Valentine's Day 1975).
Wodehouse's "Life With Jeeves" is a three-part volume containing "The Inimitable Jeeves", "Very Good, Jeeves!" and "Right Ho, Jeeves." The first two are collections of tales and the third is one long story.
Jeeves, "a bird of the ripest intellect, the source of all solace" time and time again devises an intricate plan that will not only rescue Bertie and his friends from the most terrifying situations but that will even benefit them.

 Mini-reviews of the Jeeves novels of P. G. Wodehouse
Despite Jeeves' not even being in Bertie's employ for most of this first full-length Jeeves and Bertie novel, this is an extremely fun book.
Pauline Stoker escapes from her father's yacht and ends up in Bertie's heliotrope pajamas; Bertie sleeps in potting sheds and summer houses; valet Brinkley (“versatile chap”) burns down a cottage and runs amuck with carving knives, choppers, and potatoes; Bertie spends much of his time covered in burnt cork; and Glossop and Bertie reach détente.
Jeeves doesn't have much to do, and the plot and Bertie-isms seem to be largely recycled from previous novels.
