Summary

Distraught when an author withdraws his manuscript from publication, the publisher, Lord Tilbury, sets about retrieving his fortunes, never guessing that his final obstacle would be in the rotund form of a prize pig.

Entertaining

I watched Jeeves & Worcester years ago & loved it and had always intended to read P.G.Wodehouse but never got round to it, so got this the other day when it popped up and I am really glad I did so. Whilst it only caused me to chuckle a few times, it is funny and not quite as 'painful' to see characters personal problems as in other comedy (I'm thinking of Faulty Towers etc). There are so many twists, turns and 'wrong ends of the stick' that it managed to surprise me, with me only anticipateing one thing that happened. Initially I was confused by all the different players but think that other books centered on same family will be easier to follow from the start. The narration of all characters was fantastic...often I can be annoyed men attempting to voice female people but he did it brilliantly. Each character had their own distinct voice and the emotion was there with it. Bravo, I will be getting more of theses stories & help while away hours doing boring tasks.

Absolute pleasure

Jeremy Sinden, the narrator, is an absolute pleasure to listen to. I have liked his rendition of Heavy Weather so much that I went on to get his other readings of PG Wodehouse's novels. Would highly recommend!

Wonderful

Best of Wodehouse. Hilarious, clever and narration is so so good.
Been listening to this to get off to sleep, instead I’ve kept the whole house awake by laughing out loud. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

Another Joy

What bliss, a Blandings castle yarn I had not heard before and an excellent reading by J Sinden, again a first for me….. it’s not an easy task to rang believably from Lady Constance to Purbright the pig man via the stately Beech and sprightly Galahad, Mr Sinden nails it and the plot (s) are not foolishly over complex as in some other bits of the Wodehousian world. I recommend this whole heartedly

Sheer Delight and Laugh Out Loud Funny

The book is one of Wodehouse’s best, an utter delight. Jeremy Sinden reads it superbly, with a nice understatement, letting the absurdity shine through.

Thoroughly recommended, balm for a troubled world.

Best Wodehouse to date

I have listened to 15 Wodehouse on Audible to date and this is the best performance of all. Story is great, characters magnificent, language inspirational and reading absolutely the best.

Excellent

As witty as ever and very well read by Jeremy Sinden. I am loving the Blandings series almost as much as Jeeves.
