Summer Moonshine

By: P. G. Wodehouse

Narrated by: Jonathan Cecil

The hideous Walsingford Hall is home to an odd assortment of coves…The vile premises belong to Sir Buckstone, who is in a little financial difficulty. So for a little monetary help he puts a roof over the heads of people like (among others) Tubby Vanringham, the adoring slave of cold-hearted Miss Whittaker. His brother Joe has fallen head over heels for Sir Buck’s daughter, Jane. She, however, only has eyes for Adrian Peake, who has already formed a liaison with the terrifying - but superbly wealthy - Princess Dwornitzchek. Is there no end to the confusion?

wonderful

A comedic romp with just enough spine to keep it interesting. There is a plot. There are heroes and villains. There are The usual suspects and a reliance on money solving problems. It was written in 1937 after all. The charm is how Wodehouse manages to introduce a whole cast of characters, of various stations in life and make them all fulfilled and relevant to the story. A modern audience will find opportunity to take offense if they don't check expectations of rewriting the past at the door.

Very satisfying Wodehouse

Full of verve and laugh out loud funny in many places. Only for those who want to enjoy themselves.

Delightful!!

There is nothing -- absolutely nothing -- that is not perfect about the combination of Wodehouse and Cecil!!

So fun!

A perfect afternoon’s entertainment! So witty and enjoyable weaving of words and characters! Top notch!

They used the N word way too often

Funny as hell. But one of the American characters is keen on the N word. It shocked me and rubbed me the wrong way. I’m just not into it. I know it’s a different era. But f* it. It was hurtful.
