Critic reviews

"Has many of the qualities of the author's more mature later novels (eccentric characters, clever farce, and inventive metaphors), as well as the additional charm of being a diamond in the rough....Frederick Davidson, as usual, adds to the fun with his energetic reading." (Library Journal)

A good listen

It's PG Wodehouse. What can I say. 15 minutes later you won't remember the plot or the characters, but the book moves along briskly and is and funny and good listen for a rainy day chore. Davidson reads him well, with lovely variations in the accents and voices.

Mr. Bennett

I’m not sure why he chose to make Mr. Bennett sound like someone who’s had their vocal cords removed and speaking through a voice box but other than that, classic P.G..

Fun Story - Loved It!

With elephant guns firing, the need for gun control was never so clear ;). It's no wonder that even the cake hound survived to the end. Everything I come to expect in a Wodehouse novel.

The Wit of the Brits

Frederick Davidson is the ideal narrator for books by P.G. Wodehouse; he captures the tone, pacing, and dry wit of each story.

More Wodehouse treasures

I still have a few ( very few) PG audible's I've yet to hear. The only negative thing about a PGW book can be the narrator. BUT I'm so thankful for any British narrator to tell me PGW stories... That they will get five stars just for effort!!!!
