If Lord Ickenham had not succumbed to the temptation to dislodge the hat of Beefy Bastable, the irascible QC, with a well-aimed Brazil nut, the latter's famous legal mind might never have been stimulated to literature. But the incident provoked Beefy to write his exposé of the younger generation, a novel so shocking that it caused endless repercussions for its hapless author, and sparked off a whole series of outrageous misunderstandings that it would take the inventive talents of Lord Ickenham himself to resolve.

I might enjoy Lord Ickenham more than Bertie Wooster. Excellent narration to a fun tale.

So fun

Wodehouse is a variable author, going from so-so to hilarious and compelling. And this is his best. Uncle Fred is a delightful character, and he absolutely shines in this one. He brings his desire to spread sweetness and light (or meddle in others' business) to the people around him, along with his tireless energy and utter disregard for this thing we call "the truth". Wodehouse spins a twisty, intertwined story which is an absolute delight to see resolved.

And the reading? Jonathan Cecil is always good, and in this one he is just spot-on with his timing and tones.

If you like Wodehouse, get this story.

If you don't know if you like Wodehouse, this is the one to try.

I've loved Wodehouse all my life. But, I've never loved one more.

Uncle Fred is his very best character.

And, the narrator is the best of all time.

Never loved a Wodehouse book more!!!

This story is a classic Uncle Fred story. It is classic Wodehouse story with beautifully written sentences and hilarious situations that will make you glad that God gave us the peerless pen of Wodehouse.

Classic Wodehouse!

There is a magic in combining Jonathan Cecil's colorful narration with Wodehouse's witty prose. Add a dollop of one of my favorite Wodehouse characters, Uncle Dynamite, one can't help but laugh out loud throughout. I didn't want it to end.

Laugh Out Loud Fun!

Jonathan Cecil is unrivaled as the best narrator of Wodehouse and this is a story I had somehow missed. I am going to listen all the Uncle Fred novels, so long as JC provides the narration.

Enjoy this laugh out loud and absolutely priceless rendition.

Superb!

Jonathan Cecil has always done a superb job as a narrator. I listen again and again. I could only wish he could narrate everything I listen to so that all my books would come alive!

Haven’t met a Wodehouse book I don’t enjoy!
