Story
Uncle Fred, or to give him his full title of Frederick Altamont Cornwallis Twistleton, fifth Earl of Ickenham, is considered by some as a splendid gentleman - a sportsman to his fingertips. Mr. Twistleton, nephew to the Earl, and otherwise known as Pongo to his friends, has a differing view. He simply describes his uncle as being loopy to the tonsils. But when the eccentric and well-loved Uncle Fred plays Cupid to Lord Emsworth, his old friend at Blandings Castle, little did he know that he would be known as Impostor A and the Lord’s beloved pig, the Empress, as Impostor B....

Story
In the bar-parlor of the Angler’s Rest, Mr. Mulliner tells his amazing tales, holding the assembled company of Pints of Stout and Whiskies and Splash in the palm of his expressive hand. Here you can discover what happened to the man who gave up smoking, share a frisson when the butler delivers something squishy on a silver salver (“Your serpent, Sir,” said the voice of Simmons) - and experience the dreadful unpleasantness at Bludleigh Court. Throughout, the Mulliner clan remains resourcefully in command in the most outlandish situations.

Best of the Psmith series
If you are new to Wodehouse, “Leave it to Psmith” is a great place to start. I was so happy to see that Chivers finally released the title to Audible. Jonathan Cecil’s reading is more of a performance, than a reading, both rich and full of character; Cecil’s voice brings Wodehouse to life. The story contains several of my best loved Wodehouse moments, the infamous “pale parabola of joy”, the wonderful image of a muddily yet efficient secretary throwing flower pots thought windows, along with a pistol wielding poetess.
My advice, scoop this one up, and fast.

I really enjoyed listening to this book
If you like other Wodehouse books or books similar to Charlie's Aunt or the Importance of Being Ernest then you will probably like this. Light hearted and fun even though you know how it is going to end.

Fundamental Interconnectedness of All Things
This book is fantastic, one of my favorite titles by Wodehouse. While listening to this title, I had an epiphany about the inspiration and influence that Douglas Adams found in the work of P.G. Wodehouse, especially for the Dirk Gently series by Adams - my absolute favorite books. The writing style, clever use of the English language, and the fundamental interconnectedness of all things (including all elements of the plot) brought me to a new of appreciation of both authors' work.

LOVE Psmith & Cecil
Where does Leave it to Psmith rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Psmith is the best of Wodehouse's characters--better even than Bertie & Jeeves--and Jonathan Cecil is the king of Wodehouse narrators.

Funny Story but Poor Audio
All the assumptions and misunderstandings make this story as funny as most of the P.G. Wodehouse collection. The characters are hilarious and Mr. Cecil's reading and imaginative voice casting to each of them makes the story and cast even more memorable. However, the major downfall was the audio. It's very obvious when listening that the quality of the audio keeps changing. Unfortunately, the sound volume keeps getting softer and more distant as the story progresses which makes it very hard to listen to. If they get the sound volume adjusted correctly then I would give the overall rating 5 stars.

Delightful
This is my first encounter with Psmith. Such a fabulous creation, and I particularly loved hearing him in action at Blandings. I'm now off to find more Psmith, as this is exactly the kind of escapism I need on my commute!

An overall treat.
Another fine example of Wodehouse's mastery of comic prose.
Story was engaging, delightful and hilarious from wire to wire.
Jonathan Cecil did a bang up job of almost all of the many guests of Blandings Castle though I will admit his Canadian/American voices were a bit off the mark. Sounded a bit like a mashup of a Brooklyn gangster and a West Country farmer.
Also some mild technical issues throughout. The sounds levels vary wildly between chapters. So alas, I can't give this audiobook a 5/5 across the board.

Classic Wodehouse
If you haven't tried Wodehouse yet you have a treat in store, unless you are among the one in four whose reading age is in single figures. Readers of Wodehouse need no recommendation from me. There is a trove of treasure to be enjoyed. Jonathan Cecil's own voice is perfect but his expertise with other voices could be improved.

Now on my top three Wodehouse list
Now only second to A Damsel in Distress on my favorites list, Leave it to Psmith is a rollicking, well-dressed tale. Be warned the audio is a little off balanced so that it is hard to listen to playing on speakers. Earbuds or headphones recommended.
