Thank You, Jeeves! WODEHOUSE, P. G.

First US edition of the first Jeeves novel. The story was initially serialized in the British Strand Magazine in the UK from August 1933 to February 1934, and in the American Cosmopolitan Magazine from January to June 1934. The novel was received well in contemporary reviews, John Chamberlain writing for The New York Times notes that "at the bottom of Mr. Wodehouse's genius is an ability to make his consonants dance, pirouette, leap, roll over, and play dead."
