My Man Jeeves is a collection of short stories by P. G. Wodehouse, first published in May 1919 by George Newnes. The book features eight stories, half of which feature the popular characters Jeeves and Bertie Wooster, while the others concern Reggie Pepper, an early prototype for Bertie Wooster. Revised versions of all the Jeeves stories in this collection were later published in the 1925 short story collection Carry On, Jeeves. Although the book was not published in the United States, all the stories had appeared there, mostly in The Saturday Evening Post or Collier's Weekly, and in the Strand in the UK, prior to the publication of the UK book. Jeeves and Wooster had first appeared in the short story "Extricating Young Gussie", which appeared in the Saturday Evening Post in 1915, and was included in The Man with Two Left Feet. The book contains stories such as "Leave it to Jeeves", "Jeeves and the Unbidden Guest", "Jeeves and the Hard-boiled Egg", "Absent Treatment", "Helping Freddie", "Rallying Round Old George", "Doing Clarence a Bit of Good", and "The Aunt and the Sluggard".
