Excerpt:
Once upon a time, more years ago than anybody can remember, before the first hotel had been built or the first Englishman had taken a photograph of Mont Blanc and brought it home to be pasted in an album and shown after tea to his envious friends, Switzerland belonged to the Emperor of Austria, to do what he liked with...

A bit of history well told

P.G. Wodehouse, then a very young man, wrote it as a humorous children’s story, with plenty of playful punctuation. The future comic genius barely is barely audible in this seminal work, but listen closely and you’ll hear his earliest stirrings.
The narrator, unfortunately, is the wrong choice. A perfectly competent Childrens story teller, perhaps - but an American-accented one, who literally did not know how to pronounce Plum’s last name (“WOOD-house” is correct). That problem is compounded by the decision to have the narrator read the title of the book and the author’s name at the beginning of each chapter, inexplicably and gratingly.
Enjoy this if you’re trying to make a complete sweep of Wodehouse’s works - but only if you can’t find one with a British narrator familiar with the Master, and you’ve mastered all 95 of his other books first (perhaps excepting the early school stories, written in a public school cant impenetrable to those who don’t play cricket and rugger).
Heroic tale, fun retelling, poor narration
