About this listen

Young Jerry West has a few problems. His uncle Crispin is broke and employs a butler who isn't all he seems. His other uncle, Willoughby, is rich but won't hand over any of his inheritance. And to cap it all, although already engaged, Jerry has just fallen in love with the wonderful Jane Hunnicutt, whom he's just met on jury service. But she's an heiress, and that's a problem, too - because even if he can extricate himself from his grasping fiancée, Jerry can't be seen to be a gold-digger.

Enter "The Girl in Blue" - a Gainsborough miniature which someone has stolen from Uncle Willoughby. Jerry sets out on a mission to find her - and somehow, hilariously, everything comes right.

What does Graham Seed bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

Graham Seed (Nigel Pargeter, deceased) makes an excellent and sympathetic addition to the roster of Wodehouse readers

Second rank Wodehouse but still very good value

An enjoyable read. Lighthearted and entertaining with a broad range of characters keeping the reader engaged and amused.

Excellent read

The great P.G. Wodehouse does it again. While Jeeves and Wooster are my favourites, this 'one-off' is hugely enjoyable. The pacing is less frenetic and more sedate than the J&W farces, but still very witty and the characters are likeable, even many of those whom you thought you were going to dislike.

Graham Seed is also a very good narrator, who particularly suits the more easygoing pace and style.

Hugely Enjoyable

I was feeling the cold when I started this, and was so enchanted and cheered that I couldn't stop listening. It's read brilliantly and the characters come alive, and it didn't matter a bit that the plot was so obvious - in fact that just added to the pleasure.

Left me anything but blue!

The story is classic PG Wodehouse with all his quintessential hilarious twists and turns. The narrator makes the prose even better by giving his voice to it.

Hilarious tale; wonderfully read.
