List Of Books By P. G. WodehouseThe following is a complete list of books by P. G. Wodehouse as they were originally published. Many of Wodehouse's short stories appeared first in magazines and were later published in collections, some of which include tales from several of his series: Lord Emsworth and Others, for example, contains stories about Blandings Castle, the Oldest Member, Mr Mulliner, and Freddie Widgeon. As a consequence, precise classification of his works into one series or another is impossible; some of the compilations below may overlap between series, causing some books to be listed more than once. For a complete list of Wodehouse's short stories, see List of short stories by P. G. Wodehouse. Blandings Castle The upper-class inhabitants of the fictional Blandings Castle, including the eccentric Lord Emsworth, obsessed by his prize-winning pig, the "Empress of Blandings", are the subject of eleven novels and nine short stories, written between 1915 and Wodehouse's death in 1977. The Drones Club The members of the Drones Club, a raucous social club for London's idle rich which was born in the Jeeves stories, are the subject of a number of separate stories, told by various narrators. Golf stories Wodehouse built many of his short stories around the sport of golf, a pursuit which all characters involved consider the only worthwhile pursuit in life. The Oldest Member tells most of them. Jeeves The wealthy, foppish Bertie Wooster narrates a number of stories and novels, which, collectively called the Jeeves and Wooster canon, are Wodehouse's most famous. They recount the improbable and unfortunate situations in which Bertie and his friends find themselves, and the manner in which his ingenious valet Jeeves is always able to solve them. Many of Bertie's problems stem from his aunts, the fearsome Aunt Agatha and loving Aunt Dahlia. - The Man With Two Left Feet (1917) – A collection of thirteen short stories, one of which, "Extricating Young Gussie", introduces Jeeves, Bertie, and Aunt Agatha, though Bertie's surname is Mannering-Phipps rather than Wooster
