Summary

On doctor's orders, Bertie Wooster retires to the village of Maiden Eggesford, but his rest-cure is interrupted by Aunt Dahlia, who wants him to nobble a racehorse; Vanessa Cook, who wants him to act as go-between for her and Orlo Porter; and Orlo Porter himself, who would tear Bertie limb from limb if he ever discovered that Bertie and Vanessa were once engaged. Throw in a dotty explorer, an unreliable poacher, an irascible father, and the stable cat, and the stage is set for a sublime farce.

Critic reviews

"Wodehouse's idyllic world can never stale. He will continue to release future generations from captivity that may be more irksome than our own. He has made a world for us to live in and delight in." (Evelyn Waugh)
"He exhausts superlatives." (Stephen Fry)

bad recording of excellent book.

bad recording. unedited and full of repeated sentences. Davies is very talented but poorly edited in this volume. or rather not at all. audio quality leaves a lot to be desired. a lot of mumbling, coughing and other things which should be edited out

Who is this man?

Having read all pgw's books I thought I would get the whole set on audible. After 10 minutes I was so upset at the awful reading I gave up listening. It spoils the book. He cannot narrate . Never use him again

A waste of a credit.

It’s muffled and pretty inaudible. Frustrating. I’ve purchased a different version and hope there’s a way to get a refund on this. It’s useless.
