The Wodehouse short stories

New as of April 2013: a fresh, updated design for this table of data on the Wodehouse short stories. As more information is added, it's better to view this in a wide browser window, but that makes it harder for the eye to track across the table. I hope the new background tints will make it easier to see the grouping of the variant versions of the stories.

Thanks to the correspondents* who have sent me updates to this listing, and to the many Wodehouse enthusiasts who help make the rarer stories available! Some short-short stories never before indexed in listings like this are now included, thanks to the efforts of those behind Madame Eulalie's Pelham Eulogy. There are surely more such additions to be made, especially from Punch, so this will be an ongoing project.

If you've enjoyed this page, you may also want to visit my page of the Wodehouse novels.

The stories are generally listed by the familiar titles under which they appear in book collections, but alternate titles are cross-indexed. The number-and-letter code in the second column comes from Daniel H. Garrison's Who's Who in Wodehouse; for stories not included in his list I've followed his pattern to assign codes. Dates of the initial magazine appearances are shown in year/month/day or year/month format.

The codes in the eighth column list the primary book collections in which the stories appear; an index to the codes is at the bottom of the table. Recently published story collections are not in general included, unless they include stories not previously collected in book form.

Where I have been able to determine which of multiple magazine appearances is the source for a book appearance, the book is listed in the same row of the table. If the book reference spans multiple magazine reference rows, I would be grateful for additional data about the relation between book and magazine versions. By "essentially identical" I mean that the differences are in American vs. British spelling and punctuation or other purely copy-editorial choices. "Substantially identical" or "very similar" means that there are minor changes in wording, names, settings, currency amounts, etc., or a sentence added or omitted here and there, but the story versions proceed along the same lines throughout.

A parenthetical title with the abbreviation cf. refers to an earlier or later story with significant plot similarities or reused elements. Without the abbreviation, parentheses indicate an alternate title listed in reference books, where I'm not sure which version appeared with that alternate title, or occasionally a series title as with "Tales of Wrykyn".

Stories collected in The Inimitable Jeeves were sometimes split into two chapters in that book (abbreviated IJ below); I've indexed both chapter titles here for completeness, but I treat the original magazine story as a single unit.

New feature: Many of the stories published before 1923 (and thus in the public domain under USA copyright laws) are available at the web site of Madame Eulalie's Pelham Eulogy; if the magazine name is formatted as a hyperlink, the story is available there.

Please send corrections and additional information to nmidkiff@earthlink.net.

Adventure of the Missing Bee, The 04MB Sherlock Holmes parody UK Vanity Fair-UK 1904/12/01   - Newly listed as a story here! (July 2012) Short-short Sherlock Holmes parody, in Dr. Watson's voice. In "The Adventure of the Second Stain" (Strand, Dec. 1904), Watson tells us that Holmes has retired to bee-farming on the Sussex Downs; this is Wodehouse's immediate response.

Bertie Changes His Mind 22BC Jeeves & Bertie UK Strand 1922/08   (COJ WoJ) Narrated by Jeeves; alternate title of "Bertie Gets His Chance" erroneously shown in McIlvaine for Strand appearance. In Strand and Cosmopolitan versions, Jeeves often refers to Mr. Wooster as "the guv'nor" and writes slightly less formally, with more contractions, than in book versions (COJ and WoJ). Cosmopolitan version a bit shorter, by just a few sentences or phrases. Last sentence of magazine versions: "'You do get the damnedest silliest ideas sometimes, Jeeves,' he said."

Jeeves and the Chump Cyril 18JC Jeeves & Bertie US Sat. Eve. Post 1918/06/08   - Magazine versions very similar. A notable difference: "One of these days the clan will go hurting somebody" is said by Cyril in Strand and by someone else in SEP, a line omitted altogether in IJ. Transition added (2nd & 3rd paragraphs of "A Letter of Introduction") for IJ, plus a few other interpolations and deletions. For IJ, split into two chapters: A Letter of Introduction/Startling Dressiness of a Lift Attendant. EJ claims to be SEP text but follows IJ.

McIlvaine and Garrison mistakenly list this as "Jeeves and the Blighter". For IJ, split into two chapters: Introducing Claude and Eustace/Sir Roderick Comes to Lunch, second paragraph enlarged as a transition, and ending altered to leave for New York (instead of the south of France) to link with the next chapters in the book, adapted from "Jeeves and the Chump Cyril".
