Dear Wodehousians,
My name is Barry Tighe. I have written a novel called Jeeves to the Fore. It is a
continuation of the Jeeves novels of PG Wodehouse. The story involves Jeeves and
Wooster, of course, plus Aunt Dahlia, Gussie Fink-Nottle, Madeline Bassett, Oofy
Prosser and others.
At the moment you can find Jeeves to the Fore on any Amazon site and a few places
elsewhere. It might not be there much longer.
The Jeeves estate is unhappy and has ordered me to pulp all copies. I am asking them
to give me a fair hearing and am happy to pay fair recompense. As a disciple of the
Master it would give me great pleasure to help spread the word among a new
generation who are, through no fault of their own, ignorant of his work.
I am no lawyer but I suspect I have few legs to stand on. As a penniless author I
cannot put up much resistance.
I appreciate that I run the risk of the international Wodehouse societies announcing
a fatwah, or possibly fatwa, but I hurl myself upon the mercy of fans of Wodehouse
everywhere.
Will you give Jeeves to the Fore a fair hearing?
Yours with fingers crossed that Jeeves will return,
Barry Tighe
