Publisher's summary

On doctor's orders, Bertie Wooster retires to sample the bucolic delights of Maiden Eggesford. But his idyll is rudely shattered by Aunt Dahlia who wants him to nobble a racehorse. Similar blots on Bertie's horizon come in the shape of Major Plank, the African explorer, Vanessa Cook, proud beauty and 'moulder of men', and Orlo Porter, who seems to have nothing else to do but to think of sundering Bertie's head from his body.

One Cannot Go Wrong with Jeeves and Wooster

P. G. Wodehouse never fails to put a smile on my face and a song in my heart. Lighthearted banter and high-jinks abound with the English leisure class.

Laugh out Loud!

Light and funny. I remember reading the regular book version which was published in the U.S. as "Cat Nappers" and the audio version is just as good. Jonathan Cecil is an excellent narrator of light comedies; perfect for this and other P.G. Wodehouse works.

Pure Wodehouse

Its a good book, but very Wodehouse in that it repeats the same sort of stories as a lot of the other books. Nevertheless it's very funny and takes you back to the fairy tale England of Wodehouse.

Utterly charming

One of the most entertaining and delightful renderings of Wodehouse. The narrator doesn't miss an iota of the wit and charm of the work.

Hilarious!

P.G. Wodehouse's funny and entertaining novel is perfectly performed by Jonathan Cecil. He definitely makes Wodehouse's comedy sparkle. I recommend it 100 percent.

Wodehouse: Good to the Very End

It is pleasant to discover that Wodehouse's power to entertain held up to the end. This recording of the very last novel he finished, Aunts Aren't Gentlemen, is delightful. Jeeves and Bertie are the same as ever even if the world of the 1970's, with its protest marches and its muggings, does intrude on their timeless England now and then. All the characters, old and new, are delightfully brought to life in this reading. They may be two-dimensional, but they are still hilarious

A Satisfying Wooster.

Nobody writes a better shaggy dog story than PG Wodehouse ... the story of racehorse Potato Chip in love with a stray cat ... and everything in between. Jonathan Cecil is perfect.
