STIFF UPPER LIP, JEEVES
Book ID/图书代码： 11701213B64883
English Summary/英文概要： This is a "Jeeves and Wooster" novel. Bertie Wooster looks pretty stylish in his new Tyrolean hat - or so he thinks: others, notably Jeeves, disagree. But when Bertie embarks on an errand of mercy to Totleigh Towers, things get quickly out of control and he’s going to need all the help Jeeves can provide. There are good eggs present, such as Gussie Fink-Nottle and the Rev. ’Stinker’ Pinker. But there also is Sir Watkyn Bassett J.P., enemy of all the Woosters hold dear, to say nothing of his daughter Madeline and Roderick Spode, now raised to the peerage. And Major Brabazon Plank, the peppery explorer, who wants to lay Bertie out cold. Thank goodness for the intervention of Chief Inspector Witherspoon of Scotland Yard - but is this gentleman all he seems?
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 伯蒂•伍斯特戴上他的窄边呢便帽看上去相当时髦 — 或他自己是这么人物，除了吉夫斯并不认同这一点。但当伯蒂开始着手准备Totleigh Towers的慈善差事后，事情迅速失去了控制，而他正急需吉夫斯提供所有的帮助。当然也有好心人提供支持，如Gussie Fink-Nottle和Rev。‘臭豆’Pinker。但还有Watkyn Bassett爵士等人的捐赠，伍德豪斯所有敌对者所珍视的，更不用说他的女儿Madeline和Roderick Spode，如今这些人都身为贵族。而陆军少校Brabazon Plank，一位暴躁的探险家，想要伯蒂的这场慈善任务颜面尽失。
好在有苏格兰场的总监Witherspoon的干预，但这位绅士是否如看上去那样得体呢？(Sandy)
Awards/获奖情况：《Jeeves和Wooster》系列
是以有钱而没大脑的Bertie Wooster的口吻叙述的。他和他的朋友们常把自己陷入荒谬又倒霉的困境，而他足智多谋的男仆Jeeves总有办法拯救他们于危难之际。《Jeeves和Wooster》系列，或简称《Jeeves》系列小说，是伍德豪斯最著名的作品。它的价值还在于，里面有很多二战前英语俚语。比如Bertie 常说的"What ho!", "pipped", "bally"，等等。这一点，伍德豪斯之于英国文学，与达蒙•鲁尼恩之于美国文学有类似之处。
"It’s dangerous to use the word genius to describe a writer, but I’ll risk it with him" (John Humphrys)
"For as long as I’m immersed in a P.G. Wodehouse book, it’s possible to keep the real world at bay and live in a far, far nicer, funnier one where happy endings are the order of the day" (Marian Keyes)
