Hilarious

Strong set of stories from Mr Wodehouse! Laugh out funny, clever and delightful. Narration by Jonathan Cecilis is excellent.

A brilliant collection!

has a huge Wodehouse have fan, I naturally wanted to listen to this but as far as his collections of short stories go this is the best one I've come upon. every story is a gem.

The pip!

Excellent stories - Freddie Widgeon, our 1st encounter with Frederick Altamont Cornwallis Twistleton, 5th Earl of Ickenham aka Uncle Fred, Mr. Mulliner - and the absolute best narrator in Jonathan Cecil. I cannot listen to any other narrators (except Jeremy Sinden reading Pigs Have Wings).
