In looking at a list of books by the author (on the back of the second
page in one of the books I rented from the library), there were two
titles not on the list, but seemed like they could be related. Think you
(or anyone else) could help me clarify?
Barmy in Wonderland
The World of Jeeves (collection?)
And thanks. :)

I've never read this one, but I don't think it involves Jeeves and
Bertie. Wodehouse's books, like Faulkner's, are mainly set in the same
fictional world so characters frequently show up in different series
(e.g., Dame Daphne Winkworth and Sir Roderick Glossop show up in both
the Jeeves series and the Blandings Castle series).
>The World of Jeeves (collection?)
This is a collection of all the Jeeves and Wooster short stories
(except, I think, for a couple of early Bertie stories in which Jeeves
doesn't play a major role). An excellent book.

What ho, Caroline;
_Barmy in Wonderland_ is the British title of the 1952 theatrical novel
published in the U.S. as _Angel Cake_. It's not related to any series,
except in that the title character, Barmy Fotheringay-Phipps, is a
member of the Drones.
The World of Jeeves is an omnibus short story collection, I believe.

>The World of Jeeves (collection?)
this wonderful "omnibus" collection first appeared in 1931 and has been later
re-printed with a couple of jeeves short stories added, as they were later
written.
(one, i am given to understand, actually appeared in playboy.. can anyone
remember for sure?)
yes, all the great short-stories with jeeves & wooster in one book. if i were
to take one book on a deserted island with me......this would be it!
