Story
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.

Story
Bertie Wooster's newfound enthusiasm for the banjolele results in his eviction from his apartment and, to his outrage, having to take notice from his hitherto devoted manservant, Jeeves. Repairing to the country with his banjolele and new valet, Brinkley, Bertie soon finds himself in no shortage of trouble. A visit to an American yacht ends with him locked in a stateroom by a prospective father-in-law.

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.

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 "molder of men," and Orlo Porter who seems to have nothing else to do but think of sundering Bertie's head from his body.

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?

very poor narration
I love the stories of Jeeves and Wooster, so am very sorry to say the narration of this collection was so poor I missed bits of the stories. it sounded like a grade schooler who doesn't read aloud very well. Hesitations, mispronounced words, mistakes re-spoken, incorrect emphasis, and more made it very hard to listen to. The constant, repeated tune playing throughout the entire collection quickly became an additional annoying distraction. I persisted in listening only because of my love for the writing itself. I cannot recommend this audio book at all; far better to read the stories yourself.

Not Narrated - Blandly Read
You need to know the narration is flat reading without animation, emotion, or any other sign of true narration. I own dozens of Audible titles but I have never experienced anything like this book. I am returning it. Also, there is light music playing in the background during the reading! No idea why, but maybe it is meant to keep the listener entertained since the "narration" doesn't entertain.

Impossible to listen to
I appreciated the narrator’s love of Wodehouse. But he clearly is not a voice actor or professional reader.
The narrator’s voice was not clear. He stumbled like any of us have done when reading aloud. I could have gotten through that.
The background music of electronic piano on a loop made the narration difficult to follow. The background music was.and endless loop, way too loud.
Don’t waste a credit on this.

Remember to Preview the Sample Audio
I always enjoy the adventures of Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse. Sometimes I get so excited to find an audio version of something that in my haste to add it to my Audible library - I forget to listen to the sample of the narration. I also forgot to read the past reviews. I applaud Mr. Brown for the courage it takes to put yourself out there.
I do have a few constructive comments for you:
1) Twinkle music on a loop should only be used for short things like poems or sonnets. This did not work with Wooster and Jeeves. It set the wrong tone. This story is set in the 20's where the music was jaunty like the Charleston.
2) Music should only be inserted in short discretionary areas where music would actually be appropriate like the night club scenes.
3) Narration benefits greatly when edited. My husband reads for Audible (he used to be a radio DJ). I listen to his chapters to QA the content against the script and let him know if there are issues in the "listen-ability", forgotten lines, or errors in general.
4) I found several places where it would have been better to stop and re-record when there was a mistake in the read.
Again, thank you for your effort.

Many mistakes + overbearing background music
Deaver Brown often stumbles over his words and mispronounces English words that he seems unfamiliar with. There is also a very loud background music playing at all times which detracts greatly from the story. I suggest finding another version and avoiding this one.

Avoid if you enjoy Wodehouse
As other reviewers have said this recording has two problems, the narrator and the dreadful background music. I wish I had read the other reviews before purchasing. Whoever thought of using an American narrator for a quintessentially English novel needs to think again before recording another of the normally very funny Jeeves and Wooster series. It was not the narrator's fault either that he had to compete with the rather loud background music which also makes it incredibly difficult for the listener to concentrate on the story. I gave up at the start of Chapter Two. I consider this a waste of money and am surprised to find this recording among the normally excellent productions provided by Audible. Fortunately I have the book in another electronic form and shall no doubt enjoy it in comparative silence which is only interrupted by my snorts of laughter..

Story is great, narrator and background music not
Wodehouse is brilliant, although these short stories aren't as good as his longer Jeeves and Wooster ones.
Narrator is rubbish- I just can't get used to an American Bertie! And the incredibly annoying background music throughout 😡
All in all this version is not worth buying.
