About this listen

Bertie Wooster's newfound enthusiasm for the banjolele results in his eviction from his apartment and, to his outrage, having to take notice from his hitherto devoted manservant, Jeeves. Repairing to the country with his banjolele and new valet, Brinkley, Bertie soon finds himself in no shortage of trouble. A visit to an American yacht ends with him locked in a stateroom by a prospective father-in-law. Bertie escapes to his cottage only to find an intoxicated Brinkley, who chases Bertie with a carving knife into his bedroom, then sets the cottage ablaze. Only Jeeves, brilliant Jeeves, can set Bertie's world aright.Don't miss other titles in the Jeeves series.Public Domain (P)1994 BBC Audiobooks Ltd Literature & Fiction Funny Witty Feel-Good

Critic reviews

"Jonathan Cecil gives a sparkling performance of this classic piece of Wodehouse humor. Cecil's Jeeves speaks with the great dignity and classic accent one expects of the ideal valet. In contrast, Cecil performs Bertie with all the winsome frivolity due to the fictional aristocrat. Wodehouse's confection of muddled engagements and provoked musicians is perfectly narrated."

Jeeves giving notice over Bertie’s banjolele playing and more hilarity!

This book was full of hilarious situations in which Jeeves always manages to make right in the end. Unfortunately, this book does have the N-word in it a couple of times, so be aware of that.

Perfect writing. Perfect performance. Perfectly funny

Another great story!

Wodehouse does it again! This is the best one I’ve read so far and I’m planning on reading the rest of his books!

Best narrator!

Narration is amazing and perfectly captures the characters! Not counting the excellence of Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry in the TV show, this narrator is the only one who does the voices perfectly! Everyone has their own unique voice and the rapidity with which he switches between voices is nothing short of outstanding. This is one of my favorite of the Jeeves and Wooster books. I can’t stop laughing at the shenanigans!

Laugh out !oud

A bit sociAlly out of date, but the situations brought to the imagination was a belly laugh . Again, let me say,I did get at how callous it was as a sociAlly an acceptable premise.

Outstanding Performance

Jonathan Cecil is as versatile as any narrator I have heard. At times I wondered whether it was same person presenting all sides of a conversation. He also makes Bertie more like a real person. He sets the standard for Wodehouse.

Absolutely Dashing!!!

but I get to understand why the Americans speak the way they do. i.e they always want you to smile, even when they tell you something that would anger you, they want you to respond with a smile even if you are upset.

This book has some racist content that will be offensive to modern readers

A warning to readers: This book came out in 1934. It features black face as a really significant element of the plot and the humor. It also uses the n-word occasionally.
It is still a hilarious and brilliantly written book, and Jonathan Cecil's performance is amazing, if you choose to engage with it.

I'd trade Jeeves for ten Brinkleys

Jonathan Cecil is a marvel at depicting Jeeves, Wooster and the whole gang. "You stand alone!"
