Stephen Fry is an English actor, screenwriter, author, playwright, journalist, poet, comedian, television presenter, film director and all-round national treasure. Whilst at university, Fry became involved with the Cambridge Footlights, where he met his long-time collaborator and friend, Hugh Laurie. As half of the comic double act Fry and Laurie, he co-wrote and co-starred in A Bit of Fry & Laurie and Jeeves and Wooster. Fry’s acting roles include Blackadder, Kingdom, Bones, V for Vendetta, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows and The Hobbit trilogy. He has written and presented several documentary series and as a proudly out gay man, the award-winning Out There, documenting the lives of lesbian, bisexual, gay and transgender people around the world is part of his 30-year advocacy of the rights of the LGBTQ+ community. Fry has written four novels: The Liar, The Hippopotamus (made in to a feature film in 2018), Making History and The Stars’ Tennis Balls. Translated into many languages, they have never been out of print. The most recently published works are Mythos, Heroes and Troy, a trilogy retelling the Greeks myths from the Creation to the aftermath of the Trojan War.

Stephen Fry is exquisite, a consummate voice actor. The stories are hilarious, as Wodehouse is. A pure delight.

Pure Joy

Stephen Fry is an accomplished narrator - a pleasure to listen to. He brought to life each of PGW’s unique characters. Male, female, pig…their personalities came through. Perhaps British ears may find fault with his various accents but to my American ears they sounded great. The plots are delightful farces, romance prevails. No violence, no one dies. Wonderful.

Fabulous

He's astounding, no one could dislike the Plum. Plum's his nick name. I highly suggest everyone's attention.

It is P.G Wodehouse!

Stephen Fry does an excellent job with a huge range of characters, from Lady ‘Aunt Connie’ Constable, Pongo, Mr Pott, Lord Emsworth, and many more. If you enjoy P.G. Wodehouse, you’ll love this collection. My favorite was the last story, Uncle Fred in the Springtime. Ridiculous, relaxing, and highly enjoyable. Enjoy!

Love Stephen Fry and P.G. Wodehouse

I didn’t think anything could improve P. G. Wodehouse, but Stephen Fry does. These hilarious stories are even better narrated by his wonderful voice.

Stephen Fry is a masterclass. I can think of no other narrator who brings a story more to life then he. From start to finish, Mr. Fry brings a richness and depth to the stories that I believe even P.G. Wodehouse would’ve been happy with! The stories are entertaining and rich in humor and wry wit. You can’t go wrong with this book - well worth your token or purchase!

Humourous and entertaining!

Great storytelling of Blandings Castle stories. I especially like Uncle Fred in the Springtime. I hope he will be narrating more PG Wodehouse books.

Stephen Fry is great

Thoroughly enjoyed it. You will too. I don't think anyone can do justice to Wodehouse work more than Stephen Fry. Want more of his work presented by the narrator.

A must have. Simply brilliant. More!

First and foremost I must compliment Stephen Fry's wonderful renderings of these stories, keeping all of the characters in line for 45 hours. This was my introduction to Wodehouse, and I found the stories to be mostly quite fun, though also repetitive. I suppose this much listening/reading of one author in a row would bring about the same reaction. But the stories are all a series of bad decisions mostly regarding money or marriage. One wonders if the British aristocracy were all such bad decision makers, how on Earth they ever put together an empire. The stories set in Hollywood I didn't like as much as those set in England, even though there was a good ending to them. All in all, I can recommend this production, but also suggest that the listener take breaks and maybe listen to something else in between. That would keep the stories more fresh.

Fun Stories, Great Performance
