My Man Jeeves is a collection of short stories by P. G.

Overview

British cover.

Although the book was not published in the United States, all the stories had appeared there, mostly in The Saturday Evening Post or Collier's Weekly, and in the Strand in the UK, prior to the publication of the UK book.

Several appeared later in rewritten form in Carry On, Jeeves (1925). "Absent Treatment", "Brother Alfred" and "Rallying Round Clarence" were included in the US version of The Man with Two Left Feet (1917).

Jeeves and Wooster had first appeared in the short story "Extricating Young Gussie", which appeared in the Saturday Evening Post in 1915, and was included in The Man with Two Left Feet.[2]
