Carry On, Jeeves is one of Wodehouse's Jeeves and Wooster books. This one is 10 short stories, some of which will be familiar if you've seen the excellent A&E series (wow, $250...glad I bought it when I did). All of them are good, as expected.
Spoilers follow:
Like I said, all good. Every J&W story I've ever read have been first person from Bertie Wooster's POV. Except story #10 in this collection. That one was from Jeeves's POV...and the reader is rewarded with background on how the gentleman's gentleman arranges things for his employer.
It was unexpected, and wonderful. I don't think they did an episode where Bertie waxes rhapsodically about having a daughter. Well, as I'm sure you can guess, Jeeves dissuades him humorously (I mean: humourously).
Spoilers done:
This Wodehouse was the March read for the PG Wodehouse Book Club on FB. I didn't have it yet in my preferred Collector's Wodehouse, but I remedied that sitch with the help of Abe Books. Joy added to my library, what what?!
