===List of stories=== The Jeeves canon is a series of [[comedic]] stories following Bertie Wooster and his valet Jeeves, consisting of 35 short stories and 11 novels.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Cawthorne|first=Nigel|title=A Brief Guide to Jeeves and Wooster|publisher=Running Press|year=2013|isbn=978-1-78033-825-5|location=Philadelphia|pages=42β151}}</ref> With minor exceptions, the short stories were written and published first (between 1915 and 1930); the novels later (between 1934 and 1974). While the series of stories featuring the character of Jeeves are often referred to as the "Jeeves" stories, the series is also called by other names such as the "Jeeves and Wooster" or "Jeeves and Bertie" stories. Bertie Wooster narrates (in the [[First-person narrative|first person]]) all the stories but two, "[[Bertie Changes His Mind]]" (which Jeeves himself narrates in the [[First-person narrative|first person]]), and ''[[Ring for Jeeves]]'' (which features Jeeves but not Bertie Wooster and is written in the [[Third-person narrative#Third-person|third person]]). Jeeves and Bertie first appeared in "[[Extricating Young Gussie]]", a short story published in the US in September 1915, though it was not seen in the UK until 1916. In the story, Jeeves's character is minor and not fully developed, and Bertie's surname appears to be Mannering-Phipps. The first fully recognisable Jeeves and Wooster story was "Leave It to Jeeves", published in early 1916. As the series progressed, Jeeves assumed the role of Bertie Wooster's co-protagonist. Most of the Jeeves stories were originally published as magazine pieces before being collected into books, although 11 of the short stories were reworked and divided into 18 chapters to make an episodic semi-novel called ''The Inimitable Jeeves''. * ''[[The Man with Two Left Feet]]'' (1917) β One story in a book of thirteen ** "[[Extricating Young Gussie]]" β The first appearances of Jeeves and Bertie, originally published 1915-09-18 in the ''[[Saturday Evening Post]].''<ref>{{cite web |url=http://wodehouse.ru/bibssty.htm |title= Bibliography of short stories |author= The Russian Wodehouse Society |access-date=2017-03-08}}</ref> * ''[[My Man Jeeves]]'' (1919) β Four stories in a book of eight, all four reprinted (in slightly rewritten forms) in the 1925 collection ''Carry On, Jeeves''.
