Summary
My Man Jeeves, first published in 1919, introduced the world to affable, indolent Bertie Wooster and his precise, capable valet, Jeeves. Some of the finest examples of humorous writing found in English literature are woven around the relationship between these two men of very different classes and temperaments. Where Bertie is impetuous and feeble, Jeeves is coolheaded and poised.
This audiobook, the first collection of Jeeves and Wooster stories, includes "Absent Treatment", "Helping Freddie", "Rallying Round Old George", "Doing Clarence a Bit of Good", "Fixing It for Freddie", and "Bertie Changes His Mind".

Perfect.
They couldn’t have picked a better narrator. Hilarious and so clever. P.G.Wodehouse was a genius. I listened on my dog walks and I’m sure the locals think I’ve lost my marbles, suddenly bursting out laughing, apparently for no reason.

Brilliant
Really enjoyable narration- the wit of Wodehouse really shines through in the acting and pacing. Glad to find this in the catalogue.

A good listening experience.
The usual classic tales of foolishness and silly scrapes with Jeeves coming to the rescue.

Genius
Jeeves and Bertie are always entertaining, and here the story is read by he definitive Wodehouse voice actor - a joy.

Very enjoyable short stories
Not all of these short stories are about Jeeves and Bertie Wooster but they are all very enjoyable, and all set in that joyous, carefree environment of the well-to-do in the 1920s.

Classic Wodehouse
Narration was not up to Stephen Fry's but still captured the essence of the characters.

A Fine Collection
You get a collection of eight stories here, though not all of them feature Wooster and Jeeves, The four that do are all set in New York, which is interesting, and we get the usual mixture of Bertie's friends and relatives. We do leave our favourite duo for a while, for earlier stories featuring the Wooster-like Reggie Pepper, but we don't lose P. G. Wodehouse's talent to amuse. And the final story does return us to Wooster, Jeeves, and New York, making four stories each.
The collection was first published in 1919, and some of the stories appeared later in revised versions - "Doing Clarence a Bit of Good", the fourth Reggie Pepper tale, was rewritten as "Jeeves Makes an Omelette" apparently, while "Rallying Round Old George" later became the Mr. Mulliner story "George and Alfred."
Anyway, narrator Jonathan Cecil does a good job here. If you've not tried P. G. Wodehouse before, one of the most entertaining writers of the twentieth century, this could make a good place to start.

Witty and highly entertaining
These stories really took my mind of things, with their wit and inventiveness. The narrator matcht the stories very well. The only thing I didn’t like was that the title suggested these were all Jeeves and Wooster stories, and I think only half of them really was. Did make it a good introduction to PG Wodehouse though.

Hilarious fun.
Not having been acquainted with Jeeves and Wooster, I cannot wait to find another audible book in the same vein.
I laughed out loud so many times to wonderful turns of phrase produced so well by the excellent Jonathan Cecil. I only wish he'd read more slowly, so as to be able to savour his excellent vocal rendition.
