    Bobbie Cardew can’t remember anything – ever. Can Reggie rescue him from his household woes? P.G. Wodehouse, today on The Classic Tales Podcast.

    Abraham Lincoln famously said, “If you give me six hours to chop down a tree, I’ll spend the first four sharpening the axe”. That’s the philosophy I’m taking with our Kickstarter for The Golden Triangle. I’ve got the artwork done for the four boxed sets, and they’ll be creeping into the store soon. You can pick them up early, or get them all as a package deal when we launch the Kickstarter. Keep an ear open for the latest developments!

    Today’s story is the first of a series of P.G. Wodehouse short stories found in the volume My Man Jeeves. It contains three Jeeves stories, and several others that are in the similar vein, but with different characters. A young Wodehouse was still feeling out his characters at this point, working out the kinks, and polishing his style. I hope you like them.

    And now, Absent Treatment, by P.G. Wodehouse.

Great performance

I have listened to B. J. Harrison I think for ten years and his performances have always been top notch. I have an audible subscription and have for several years and still listen to his stories more than audible.
Thank you B.J.

Excellent Narration and Selection

Wonderful (re)introduction to new authors and genres. I have discovered new favorites because of this podcast and have enjoyed other classics anew.
