First off, Jeeves is a valet, not a butler. He works for Bertie Wooster, a man of leisure. This is a collection of some of the early Jeeves stories and a few non-Jeeves stories. The stories, although fairly similar to each other, are good. The dialogue is great, with old chestnuts like “Right-o!” and “Did you, by Jove?” Good stuff.
After reading this book, I really want to be a man of leisure. Most of the characters have plenty of money without working. Several of the stories involve a character trying to keep his income that he receives from his rich uncle or aunt. They just sleep late, eat breakfast and read the paper, head down to the club for some lunch, and then go out for a show and dinner in the evening. What a life! Where do I sign up?
