- I think you're probably right on target here; trouble is it's hard to
- refer to specific stories since there have been several different
- packages. In the 1967 Herbert Jenkins incarnation, _The World of
- Jeeves_, (a) and (b) are both in Chapter 1, entitled "Jeeves in the
- Springtime."
-
- What this field needs is a standard way of referring to stories.
- Usborne's _The Penguin Wodehouse Companion_ (itself published earlier
- under a different title, also by Penguin) might be a good foundation,
- since it traces the publication history.
