Fanfic recommendation, Wimsey - Wooster crossover

[celticdragonfly]

I found this wandering through a journal I don't usually read, and I'm so glad I did. I'm a Sayers fan, and have not really encountered any Wooster and Jeeves yet - I mean, I've heard of it, I have a vague idea, but I haven't experienced it yet myself.

Title: Green Ice
Fandom: Jeeves and Wooster x Lord Peter Wimsey
Rating: G or PG, I guess
Status: Complete

Part I
Part II
Part III
Part IV

(after part IV make sure you read the comments, at least through this thread.)

Go to your library and see if they have any P.G. Wodehouse books! I don't think it matters much in which order you read them, not that I'm a stickler for such things, and there are some compilations that have three or so Jeeves novels in one volume. None of them are very long, and since they're set roughly in the same era and class as the Sayers books (early 20th C English gentry), that part will be familiar to you already. So you shouldn't have trouble reading them.

Most of the Bertie and Jeeves ones have "Jeeves" in the title somewhere. Also, you might want to look for the TV versions done (in the 80s or early 90s) that starred Hugh Laurie as Bertie and Stephen Fry as Jeeves. They were wonderful.

Oh, joy...

I'm only partway through part 1 so far, but it appears to be a thing of beauty and a joy forever. (One of Jeeves' wheezes.)

And by all means, hit the library for some PG Wodehouse, almost anything will do as a starting point. He's one of the finest literary stylists and generally funny writers of the 20th century. Not just for Jeeves, either -- I confess a slight preference for Uncle Gally at Blanding Castle. If you've seen any of the BBC series starring Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry, they did Wodehouse about as well as mere mortals can but the original source material is actually funnier.

I should like to see the videos. After Andrew L-A brought Strong Poison DVDs up for the minicon, I went and checked out Clouds of Witness from the library, and am enjoying them. I'll look for the Jeeves series, too.

Big Thanks!
