Summary
This collection of quintessential (i.e. hilarious) Wodehousiana includes one complete novel (QUICK SERVICE) and a gorgeous selection of short stories, among them what may be P.G. Wodehouse's best effort, "Uncle Fred Flits By." The rest include his usual stellar cast of characters: Mr. Mulliner, Ukridge, Lord Emsworth, various wacky golfers, and-of course-Bertie and Jeeves.

Leaving Home
by Garrison Keillor
Revisit the beguiling comic world of Lake Wobegon. In the first collection of Lake Wobegon monologues, Keillor tells readers ore about some of the people from Lake Wobegon Days and introduces some new faces.

The Comic Stories
by Anton Chekhov
Unpretentious, lively, and inventive, these comic stories have long been affectionately regarded in Russia, but publishers in the West, overawed by the prevailing image of Chekhov as a melancholy genius, have resisted the down-to-earth humorist. This collection is the first substantial volume in English devoted solely to the comic stories. The forty stories here reveal the full range of Chekhov's comic genius, in these early comic stories he found himself as an artist.
The Collected Tales of Nikolai Gogol
by Richard Pevear
When Pushkin first read some of the stories in this collection, he declared himself "amazed." "Here is real gaiety," he wrote, "honest, unconstrained, without mincing, without primness. And in places what poetry! . . . I still havent recovered."More than a century and a half later, Nikolai Gogols stories continue to delight readers the world over. Now a stunning new translation--from an award-winning team of translators--presents these stories in all their inventive, exuberant glory to English-speaking readers. For the first time, the best of Gogols short fiction is brought together in a single volume: from the colorful Ukrainian tales that led some critics to call him "the Russian Dickens" to the Petersburg stories, with their black humor and wonderfully demented attitude toward the powers that be. All of Gogols most memorable creations are here: the minor official who misplaces his nose, the downtrodden clerk whose life is changed by the acquisition of a splendid new overcoat, the wily madman who becomes convinced that a dog can tell him everything he needs to know.These fantastic, comic, utterly Russian characters have dazzled generations of readers and had a profound influence on writers such as Dostoevsky and Nabokov. Now they are brilliantly rendered in the first new translation in twenty-five years--one that is destined to become the definitive edition of Gogol's most important stories.
