For George Finch, one of "Nature's white mice" and probably the worst artist ever to put brush to canvas, there are many obstacles to overcome. Undoubtedly the greatest is his beloved Molly's fearsome stepmother, Mrs. Waddington, who has her eye on an eligible English lord for a son-in-law. Luckily, George has an ally in sharp-witted Hamilton Beamish, an old family friend of the Waddingtons. Then there is George's butler Mullett and his light-fingered girlfriend, Fanny, whose valuable skills are of particular interest to the would-be father-in-law...

Most of the Wodehouse canon is set in Britain--Jeeves, Wooster, various manor houses. But this is a refreshing romp set in Greenwhich Village, Upper Manhattan, beach houses in Long Island. Great characters, dialog, and a rag-tag plot that somehow seems perfect, as well. Jonathan Cecil's narration is spot-on.

Light-hearted fun. The narration is delightful and as a New Yorker, I loved all the references to places in the city. The Pyramus and Thisbe scene is my favorite.

A gem! One of my favorite Wodehouses

While not one of Wodehouse's best, this in a fun tale with loads of broken hearts that must be mended, thieves, and stolen necklaces. The narration was good, with Cecil performing quite a few voices with perfection.

Enjoyable, but not a classic

The golden master sets beautiful machinery in to motion once again! Jonathan Cecil, once again, endeavors to deliver uniform satisfaction.

Amazing!

Although there are many familiar elements to this story, the point of it all is to enjoy the journey that P.G. Wodehouse takes one on. You wonder how the many characters will come together but they do and it’s all in good fun. The narrator was excellent.
