Critic reviews

"Has many of the qualities of the author's more mature later novels (eccentric characters, clever farce, and inventive metaphors), as well as the additional charm of being a diamond in the rough....Frederick Davidson, as usual, adds to the fun with his energetic reading." (Library Journal)

Loved it, Wodehouse at his best, full of intrigue, nonsense and a hoot to boot.

BEST NARRATOR EVER!

Read (or rather listened to) this one before but it is still as funny and fresh as the first time.

Second Time

I really enjoyed this book and will listen to it again in future years. Its central characters are very likeable, and the book is genuinely funny, I sometimes laughed out loud. I think it is better than the Jeeves and Wooster stories. It is very interesting and enjoyable to go back to a different age, 1922. The narrator is excellent, as is the sound quality.

Very enjoyable

Laughing makes me feel so good and PG Wodehouse makes me laugh. His use of the English language is brilliant.

Funny

…but nevertheless very witty and laugh out loud in spots. Not so keen on this narrator though.

Not his best…

Great plot, not just farce. As good as Jeeves and Wooster. Very funny turns of phrase and the narrator delivered them perfectly.

Wonderful Wodehouse

Classic PGW, an absolute joy to listen to. Narration is first class too. FD is the perfect match to the story.

Magnificent! And what a narrator!
