About this listen

Trapped in rural Steeple Bumpleigh, a man less stalwart than Bertie Wooster would probably give way at the knees.

For among those present were Florence Craye, to whom Bertie had once been engaged and her new fiancé 'Stilton' Cheesewright, who sees Bertie as a snake in the grass. And that biggest blot on the landscape, Edwin the Boy Scout, who is busy doing acts of kindness out of sheer malevolence.

All Bertie's forebodings are fully justified. For in his efforts to oil the wheels of commerce, promote the course of true love and avoid the consequences of a vendetta, he becomes the prey of all and sundry. In fact only Jeeves can save him.

Fantastic Naration

Jonathan Cecil's narration is brilliant and brings every character and scene into wonderfully sharp relief. The high standard of narration matches the equally sublime penmanship of PGW, whose turns of phrase are a joy to behold.

A joy as always

Having previously read all the Jeeves and Wooster books I was a little apprehensive about listening to the audio books. I need not have worried as these are a fantastic listen narrated perfectly by Jonathan Cecil once I got over comparing it to Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry. I am working my way through all of his books now and hopefully will not run out of them any time soon!!

I enjoyed this book immensely

I enjoy the Jeeves and Worcester books very much the way Jonathan Cecil reads. The books is excellent and as a blind person his expression and the way he interprets the people that he is mimicking is excellent hurrah

Perfectly free of cynicism and malice

Just the fizzy tonic for these troubling times, and the Cecil makes the whole wheeze very easy on the ears.

Wonderful 😍

This was amazing!!!The narrator is incredibly good at the voices and has a very calming voice . As soon as he says the first word it grabs your attention and pulls you in ,instantly all these questions are going through your head . I have a love of writing myself and this book has sparked so many of my ideas .So I just want to say thanks Mr Workhouse and thanks audible!!!

Joy is right!

Jonathan Cecil was one of the greatest narrators of the stories of P.G. Wodehouse, especially the Jeeves and Wooster stories.

Silly, humourous, great fun, frivolous and with some of the wittiest and cleverest use of language. This story will provide you not just joy in the morning, but all times of the day.

Wodehouse at his best

All of the Jeeves and Wooster stories transport me to a sunny world of English country houses and small adventures. Totally perfect. Thank goodness for Jeeves
