Narrator Gets annoying

Way too old. You can hear the mouthful of old man dental work and saliva sloshing around in his pronunciations.

I also take issue with the latitude taken to assign a speech impediment (understandably more prevalent in Britain because like dentistry, speech pathology isn’t a thing) to the main character, Bingo Little. While clever in theory, it grew... VERY annoying. Very. Fast.

Or shall I say “Vewy. Fast.”

One of my favorite narrators!

Mr. Cecil is one of my favorite narrators, and I’ve listened to many. I know many experienced and well educated listeners will agree with me that his talent is difficult to match.

Wodehouse + Cecil = 5 Stars

Another charming and hilarious series of vignettes from my favorite comedic duo. If you loved Wooster and Jeeves, you’ll be pleased to find more new friends in this volume.

Brilliant LOL Inducing

Laughed out loud several times. Not my favorite of his works, rather short on overall story, but fantastically comical characters

Some disgusting stories. Otherwise excellent

Skinning cats and sell the furs? I had to skip the entire chapter as soon as it came to my ear space. Otherwise funny and delicious as usual. Excellent performance by Jonathan Cecil.

Delightfully Silly

Classic Wodehouse antics, great narration. This is a great series of short stories for when you need a laugh at the end of the day.

Some of the best of Plum’s short stories

All of the PG Wodehouse works read by Jonathan Cecil are a treat! You can’t go wrong with them. Perfect for lifting the mood and restoring the big broad flexible outlook on things.

Silly, fun, hilarious

The stories are silly but just interesting enough to keep me engaged. The euphemisms throughout are hilarious. I wanted more Bingo, he was by far my favorite character.

Great, but the cats....

I lovedthe stories and performance, but the cat skin farm was incredibly disturbing to me, and I skipped the rest of that story. Otherwise, great!
