The Pothunters and Aunts Aren't Gentlemen

... were the first and last of 69 novels by P. G. Wodehouse that were published in his lifetime. (Sunset at Blandings was unfinished at the time of his death in 1975, and published in 1977 along with his notes concerning the ending; The Luck Stone, published in 1997, was compiled from a serial that appeared in Chums: An Illustrated Paper for Boys in 1908 and 1909, when Wodehouse was 27 years old.) He also wrote 24 collections of short stories (four of which were published posthumously), 42 plays, and 15 film scripts.

Aunts Aren't Gentlemen was the last of eleven novels to feature Jeeves and Wooster. Ten of the 69 concerned the goings–on at Blandings Castle, and Psmith appeared in three. Of the short story collections, five were exclusively about Jeeves and Wooster; six others included stories about either this 'gentleman and valet' pairing and/or Blandings Castle.
