We find ourselves in the austerity of the 1950s, when England's aristocracy was feeling the pinch. Bertie Wooster has gone to a residential self-help school to learn how to darn his socks. Until he re-emerges, Jeeves has signed up with Bill Rowcester (pronounced Roaster), an earl who is failing to make ends meet in trade, and yearning to sell his stately home, which has charm and damp in equal measure.

In his new environment Jeeves is required to exert his mammoth brain to what would be breaking point for any normal intellect. Apart from the current economic crisis and his employer's complete ignorance of digging and delving, Jeeves has to duck and weave to preserve his temporary master from grievous injury at the hands of a) a very angry White Hunter, and b) a small but feisty fiancée.

If that wasn't enough, we also meet a rich American lady with addictions to a) psychic phenomena, and b) White Hunters, which have to be humoured by night as well as by day. Believe it or not, Jeeves flits across this minefield with all the grace and agility of an adagio dancer and makes it look easy, which is yet another indication of his truly Olympian stature.

"The funniest writer ever to put words to paper" (Hugh Laurie)

Martin Jarvis is pretty much the voice I hear nowadays even when I am reading a P G Wodehouse book. That's how perfect this is.

A Good Egg!

I had missed reading this when I avidly read almost all of Wodehouse’s books. A very nice “Jees Only” Story with the same degree of hilarious complications.

Not as funny as some of his other works though.

Martin Jarvis’s variation of of voices wa very good

Refreshing tale of Jeeves without Bertie

Another enjoyable Jeeves book. It's not my number one favorite in the series, and I feel I enjoy the ones with Bertie Wooster more, but it's certainly not bad, and did have a few memorable bits, like "Do you speak Spanish well?" "I don't know, I've never tried."

I have been listening to Jeeves, read by the same author for 15 years. This was my first experience with a new author, and he did a absolutely superb job! Loved it!

fantastic

Familiar story, tweaked a bit for the jaded post War reader, Jeeves way too chatty, and at times seems to doubt himself. Excellent performance by Martin Jarvis.
