''The Inimitable Jeeves'' is a semi-novel collecting Jeeves stories by P. G. Wodehouse, 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''.〔McIlvaine, E., Sherby, L.S. and Heineman, J.H. (1990) ''P.G. Wodehouse: A comprehensive bibliography and checklist''. New York: James H. Heineman, pp. 41-42. ISBN 087008125X〕 ==Overview== 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. It is now often printed in 11 chapters, mirroring the original stories. All the stories had previously appeared in ''The Strand Magazine'' in the UK, between December 1921 and November 1922, except for one, "Jeeves and the Chump Cyril", which had appeared in the ''Strand'' in August 1918. That story had appeared in the ''Saturday Evening Post'' (US) in June 1918. All the other stories appeared in ''Cosmopolitan'' in the US between December 1921 and December 1922. This was the second collection of Jeeves stories, after ''My Man Jeeves'' (1919); the next collection would be ''Carry on, Jeeves'', in 1925. All of the short stories are connected and most of them involve Bertie's friend Bingo Little, who is always falling in love. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Inimitable Jeeves」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
