Yes, that Jeeves! Before you were asking an algorithm for answers, the iconic Ask Jeeves search engine took its name from P.G. Wodehouse's brilliant fictional valet —the unflappable gentleman's gentleman who could solve any problem with wit, wisdom, and impeccable timing.

Now discover the original Jeeves in this delightfully hilarious audiobook that started it all.

When the highly competent Jeeves arrives to replace Bertie Wooster's previous thieving valet, everything changes. Through ten uproarious short stories, you'll meet the man who became synonymous with having all the answers—long before the internet age. From "Jeeves Takes Charge" (where Bertie hires Jeeves for the first time) to clever schemes involving ornithology books and conventions of gentlemen from Missouri, these tales showcase why Jeeves became the go-to name for anyone seeking solutions.

This isn't stuffy literature—it's comedy gold. Witness Jeeves floating "noiselessly through the doorway like a healing Zephyr" and streaming into rooms without seeming to have feet at all. Marvel at his ability to rescue Bertie and his foppish friends from broken engagements, angry relatives, and their own spectacular lack of common sense. These are the stories that made "Leave it to Jeeves" a cultural catchphrase decades before it became a search engine tagline.

Perfect for anyone who's ever typed a question into Ask Jeeves and wondered about the impeccably dressed butler behind the brand—this is your chance to meet the literary legend who could answer anything... as long as it involved extricating wealthy idiots from their self-inflicted disasters.
