The Inimitable Jeeves by P. G. Wodehouse was the first of the Jeeves novels, although not originally conceived as a single narrative, being assembled from a number of short stories featuring the same characters.
The book was first published in the United Kingdom by Herbert Jenkins, London, on 17 May 1923 and in the United States by George H. Doran, New York, on 28 September 1923, under the title Jeeves.
[1] The novel combined 11 previously published stories, of which the first six and the last were split in two, to make a book of 18 chapters.
All of the short stories are connected and most of them involve Bertie's friend Bingo Little, who is always falling in love.
[2] The short story omnibus collection The World of Jeeves (1967) included the original versions of the eleven stories that were modified by Wodehouse to make up The Inimitable Jeeves.
