My Man Jeeves, first published in 1919, introduced the world to affable, indolent Bertie Wooster and his precise, capable valet, Jeeves. Some of the finest examples of humorous writing found in English literature are woven around the relationship between these two men of very different classes and temperaments. Where Bertie is impetuous and feeble, Jeeves is coolheaded and poised.

We find ourselves in the austerity of the 1950s, when England's aristocracy was feeling the pinch. Bertie Wooster has gone to a residential self-help school to learn how to darn his socks. Until he re-emerges, Jeeves has signed up with Bill Rowcester (pronounced Roaster), an earl who is failing to make ends meet in trade, and yearning to sell his stately home, which has charm and damp in equal measure. In his new environment Jeeves is required to exert his mammoth brain to what would be breaking point for any normal intellect.

The usual suspects, including Lord Emsworth and his prize pig, the Empress, line up at Blandings Castle for a Wodehousian caper that sees members of the upper-classes getting hot and bothered over a nude painting they all want to get their hands on. This is wit at its very finest, read by one of our superlative actors, who reads Wodehouse with the requisite style and panache.

The second instalment of this wonderful collection of short stories sees Bertie Wooster in the proverbial soup as usual and Jeeves invariably shimmering to the rescue. Love, comic reunions and errant Uncles are all on the agenda, plus bucket loads of laughter. Where would Wooster be without his infinitely brainy valet? Where would audio listeners be without Wodehouse's sparkling comic invention?

P.G. Wodehouse documented the lives of the inimitable Jeeves and Wooster for nearly 60 years, from their first appearance, in 1915, (“Extricating Young Gussie”) to his final completed novel ( Aunts Aren't Gentlemen), in 1974. These two were the finest creations of a novelist widely proclaimed to be the finest comic English writer by critics and fans alike. Now, 40 years later, Bertie and Jeeves return in a hilarious affair of mix-ups and mishaps.

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....

Once again we find ourselves at that idyllic country seat, Blandings. This time it's debonair charmer, Frederick Altamont Cornwallis Twistleton, fifth Earl of Ickenham (known to most as 'Uncle Fred') who has been lured to the castle by affable Lord Emsworth. His lordship requires an expert in human behaviour to prevent the egg-throwing Duke of Dunstable from stealing Emsworth's treasured pig, Empress of Blandings. The plot's eccentricities naturally include love and romance and, crucially, three imposters.

Publisher's Summary
My Man Jeeves is the first book in a series of comical ones by written by P.G. Wodehouse, which recount the tales of Wooster and his ever reliable valet Jeeves. The stories follow our hapless hero and his misadventures in New York where he and his friends always seem to be getting into trouble, only to be bailed out by the ingenious plots of his witty valet, Jeeves.
Each character in the book is brought to life through the stunning vocals of narrator David McCallion. His diverse range adds to the humor in each story and makes for an incredible listening experience.
My Man Jeeves from the Jeeves collection contains the following eight stories:
- "Leave it to Jeeves"
- "Jeeves and the Unbidden Guest"
- "Jeeves and the Hard Boiled Egg"
- "Absent Treatment"
- "Helping Freddie"
- "Rallying Round Old George"
- "Doing Clarence a Bit of Good"
- "The Aunt and the Sluggard"
Whether it's a problem with an unexpected guest who enjoys the New York lifestyle a little too much, a friend who's having trouble with a rich uncle or just deciding what tie to wear with a particular suit, Bertie can always turn to Jeeves and be sure that he'll be able to point him in the right direction, even if things tend to get a little bumpy along the way.
This audiobook also contains several stories featuring Bertie Pepper, this character was an early prototype of Wooster who was just as adept at getting himself, and those around him, into trouble.

Jeeves is the Man...
All I’ve got to is WOW… David McCallion knocked this book out of the park and did a marvelous job at narrating each character’s voice in a style that matched the personality which P.G. Wodehouse intended them to have.
McCallion’s charming English accent adds so much to the persona that is present in each character. Wodehouse's vocabulary and different words that were typical for the time period are incredible to hear used with such ease and melody! The full effect of these stories is certainly felt in having this narrator read them, and make them that much more pleasant and delightful!
As to the characters themselves, the relationship that emerges between Bertie Wooster and Jeeves is simply charming; Jeeves is one of those friends that everyone wishes they had, apparently. He is the one who is always there to help, no matter how grave the situation might be. I found myself feeling quite jealous of Bertie, since he gets to spend time with Jeeves and introduce him to other friends, as well! The wonderful little subplots and events that unfold make for the perfect feel-good read!
A spectacular performance and also one of the cleanest audio’s I have listened to with no background noise or breath sounds, 2 thumbs up…

Absolutely terrific!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Awesome is an inadequate word to describe this utterly remarkable audio book. This fast-paced witty tale is well narrated by David McCallion which has effortlessly abducted me in this roller-coaster tale and unending drama. The characters were well embodied. Certainly this narrator possesses the X-factor necessary to create a whirlwind in one’s mind, of which I am chief. P.G. Wodehouse has skillfully constructed an audio book that is well worth listening to!

Fun but quickly tiresome
Is there anything you would change about this book?
The stories are fun, but they all sound alike after the first five. I couldn't get through the whole thing.
What was most disappointing about P. G. Wodehouse’s story?
They were written as standalone pieces for a white, wealthy audience. Maybe if you eat just one piece of candy a month they would be enjoyable, but eating 7 pieces at one sitting is a Very Bad Idea.
What about David McCallion’s performance did you like?
It's fine, not great, not bad.
