About this listen

 The moon beamed down genially on the turrets and battlements of Blandings Castle. Sleep, however, eluded Clarence, ninth Earl of Emsworth. To be compelled to play host to his younger son, Freddie, was enough; add his sister Veronica and a chap called Tipton Plimsoll and you have a situation at which the doughtiest earl might quail...©1947 By the Trustees of the Wodehouse Estate (P)2014 Audible, Inc.

Jeremy Sinden is a fantastic narrator, and this story has all the great elements of Blandings!

My favorite Blandings story so far!

This is a delightful, wonderfully constructed tale. The narration is excellent. Great introduction to an extraordinary author for the uninitiated.

Wodehouse at his best!

This is Wodehouse at his best. Ridiculous unlikely circumstances abound with a whole lot of laughs. The narrator is wonderful, maybe not as believable with some of the voices as other narrators, but utterly charming.

Fun, lighthearted entertainment

My expectations were high because this is my favorite Wodehouse, and because I had already been blown away by Sinden'S narration of a funnyNgaio Marsh book. Expectations fully met! This wonderful nonsense is as good an answer as any I know of to life's ills.

Superb Wodehouse, superbly narrated

Like Frederick Davidson, Jeremy Sinden gets the inner meaning of Wodehouse, extracting every drop of irony, sarcasm, mock-melodrama or just plain humor from every single line. His vocal portrayals are pitch-perfect; one gets a visual image of every character. His timing and pacing are impeccable. His diction is downright Harovian. Or Etonian, take your pick.

But then again, like any actor with a great script, Sinden has a lot to work with here. Full Moon is one of the highest spots in the Wodehouse bookshelf, a tumultuous romp through the spreading park lands and messuages of Blandings Castle, where:

Veronica Wedge ("the dumbest blonde in Shropshire") and Tipton Plimson ("rather a self-centered young man") find love

Colonel Egbert (complete with service revolver) and Lady Hermione Wedge (who looks like a cook) find a rich son-in-law

Bill Lister ("Blister" to his pals) finds he isn't cut out for the life artistic but is cut out for life with Prudence ("that little squirt") Garland

Lord Emsworth ("that woolen-headed peer") finds peace when everybody finally clears out of his house and leaves him with his prize porker, Empress of Blandings and his favorite reading, "On the Care of the Pig", by the great Augustus Whiffle

And the Hon. Galahad Threepwood finds he can make it all come about with an adroit mixture of lies, half-truths, tall tales, brisk staff work...and putting the Empress in Veronica's bedroom.

Don't worry, I haven't given anything away. In Wodehouse everyone--at least, all the deserving ones--get exactly what they want. The fun--and there is a great deal of fun here, served up with no unstinting hand--is seeing how they get it. Jeremy Sinden makes Wodehouse in your ear buds even better that Wodehouse off the printed page.

Full Moon + Jeremy Sinden = A Full Hand

A fun Wodehouse comedy with all the traditional pieces. Good for the fan, but not the beginner.

Good story

PG Wodehouse brilliant as usual! Had me laughing out loud. And the narrator is fabulous.

hilarious book, great reader

Another P.G. Wodehouse lukewarm story, can NOT compare with Summer Lightning and Leave It To Psmith. But anyhow, Jeremy Sinden makes the story read like a wake of the less cheery kind. PLEASE GET JOHN WELLS TO READ ALL BLANDINGS BOOKS, after the wonderful Jonathan Cecil passed away in 2011.

Jeremy Sinden is a bally wash-out! GET JOHN WELLS!
