“Jeeves Takes Charge” is not a standalone novel but rather a short story that serves as the opening chapter of the first Jeeves and Wooster novel, “Thank You, Jeeves” by P.G. Wodehouse.

The story begins with Bertie’s bachelor life in London being interrupted by his decision to vacation in the countryside. However, his plans are disrupted when his friend, Bingo Little, asks him to look after his aunt’s cat while she is away. This seemingly simple task soon spirals into chaos when Bertie finds himself entangled in Bingo’s romantic pursuits and must rely on Jeeves’s assistance to navigate the situation.
“Jeeves Takes Charge” sets the stage for the comedic misadventures that ensue in the subsequent Jeeves and Wooster stories, establishing the dynamic between Bertie and Jeeves and showcasing Wodehouse’s masterful storytelling and wit.
