About this listen
Downton Abbey - P. G. Wodehouse style!
Here, we have a glorious ensemble of Woodhousian characters knocking elbows to foreheads in the elegant and grand Blandings Castle. Meet Freddy Threepwood, the vagrant son of doddering old Lord Emsworth of Blandings Castle. Freddy has recently become engaged to Aline Peters, the American heiress of an irascible father. The snag is that Freddy seems to have at one point become enamored of a struggling actress, Joan Valentine, and written some impetuous and imprudent letters to her. Joan has now moved on and is currently employed as a writer for a magazine's society column. Freddy has employed a certain R. Jones, a man of portly and dubious character, to attempt to buy back Freddy's letters, and keep his engagement safe. We also meet Ache Marson, an athlete who writes the Gridley Quayle series of pulp mystery stories, and also lives in the flat just below the actress/writer Joan Valentine. Got that strait? Sound confusing? Wait till we get going.
Narrated by B.J. Harrison of The Classic Tales Podcast, who brings each whimsical Wodehouse character to life with his usual, wonderful gusto.

Mike is among Wodehouse's earliest adult novels, and reportedly remained the author's personal favorite. The story follows the adventures of cricketing prodigy Mike Jackson, first at the prestigious Wrykyn public school, where he strives to achieve the unprecedented feat of a place in the First Eleven in his freshman year, and later (when to his father's annoyance Mike's academic performance at Wrykyn fall rather short of his sporting achievements) at Sedleigh, a smaller school with little sporting reputation, where he first encounters the immaculate and unflappable Psmith....

Story
A book published in 1910 by a master of humor P. G. Wodehouse. The action begins with bachelor Jimmy Pitt in New York; having fallen in love on a transatlantic liner, he befriends a small-time burglar and breaks into a police captain's house as a result of a bet. The cast of characters head to England, and from there on it is a typically Wodehousean romantic story, set at the stately Dreever Castle, overflowing with imposters, detectives, crooks, scheming lovers and conniving aunts... A pure comedic joy, as always!

Story
Most of the big money belongs to Torquil Paterson Frisby, the dyspeptic American millionaire--but that doesn't stop him wanting more out of it. His niece, the beautiful Ann Moon, is engaged to "Biscuit", Lord Biskerton, who doesn't have very much of the stuff and so he has to escape to Valley Fields to hide from his creditors. Meanwhile, his old school friend Berry Conway, who is working for Frisby, himself falls for Ann--just as Biscuit falls for her friend Kitchie Valentine. Life in the world of Wodehouse can sometimes become a little complicated.

Coping first with her brother's wild theatrical ambitions, then with the defection of her fiancé and his immediate replacement by a much more appropriate but strangely unattractive suitor, Sally finds that life in New York is becoming altogether too complicated, and a trip to England only makes the whole situation worse.

Lady Wetherby had a big, soft heart, and she hated hurting her fellows. As a rule, when she had bad news to impart to any one, she administered the blow so gradually and with such mystery as to the actual facts that the victim, having passed through the various stages of imagined horrors, was genuinely relieved, when she actually came to the point, to find that all that had happened was that he had lost all his money.

Classic P.G.Wodehouse
I adore the dry, clever and hilarious British sense of humor. Wodehouse has perfected this in his writing.

Great story, more British delivery
Love this story. I would have preferred the narration in a British accent. I feel like it fits Wodehouse and the setting better.

PG Wodehouse is always fun!
I've listened to all the Jeeves books, and wanted more so I tried this one. I laughed out loud and often. nothing serious, nothing to worry you, just ridiculous circumstances and good fun.

Typical Wodehouse
Typical Wodehouse. Delightful, if predictable, witty fluff. Not Jeeves, but fun. Narration was good and audio overall was fine, which sometimes seems to be a problem on books less recently recorded.

Early PG Wodehouse classic
Likely the first in the Blanding Castle series, introducing sone of the characters before they fully formed with refined edges.

Same book as Something Fresh
Just be aware that this edition is the SAME as Something Fresh but without the forward and with B.J. Harrison as the narrator. As I had purchased the other version quite a while ago I returned this one

Surprisingly great
I have listened to dozens of PG Wodehouse novels all narrated by Jonathan Cecil. I was sure I could not abide listening to PG narrated by anyone else, but since not all Wodehouse books are read by him (and I intend to listen to them all!) and I had recently discovered BJ Harrison through the tour-de-force 50+ hours of listening glory through "The Count of Monte Cristo" and he was now in the top 5 of my favorite narrators, I took the plunge and bought this book. I was astonished by how wonderful PG's humor comes across, sometimes better than with Mr. Cecil - who reads so fast you barely have time to laugh in case you miss what's coming next. Mr. Harrison's pacing, his very attractive and flexible voice, is a perfect fit, for this Wodehouse title at least, which features an equal number of American main characters. However, I know from experience that he does accents and voices superlatively, and I've already bought his Wodehouse collection.
I'm an American, so I'm not finicky about perfect British accents. Jonathan Cecil does his best with the American "accent" but doesn't get it perfectly either. Big deal.

Enjoyable read, but
I did enjoy this book, but It doesn’t hold a candle to the Jeeves and Wooster books. Still, I would recommend it.

I hated this narration.<br /><br />
Awful narration. One of Wodehouse's stupidest plots, if it really was Wodehouse, which I doubt.
