About this listen

 The usual suspects, including Lord Emsworth and his prize pig, the Empress, line up at Blandings Castle for a Wodehousian caper that sees members of the upper-classes getting hot and bothered over a nude painting they all want to get their hands on. This is wit at its very finest, read by one of our superlative actors, who reads Wodehouse with the requisite style and panache.©2006 CSA Telltapes Ltd. (P)2006 CSA Telltapes Ltd.

Listened to this in two sittings . A nice easy listen with predictable Wodehouse characters brought to life in a way only Martin Jarvis can do so. Very enjoyable

A nice easy listen

Brilliant storytelling by Martin Jarvis. The story has the clever younger brother of Lord Emsworth, Galahad orchestrating the action. It is a lovely change from the usual Jeeves and Wooster. All ends happily ever after as you would expect but a jolly romp on the way. Absolutely excellent.

Really enjoyable. I love the story and how Martin Jarvis brings it to life. A Wodehouse classic.

Good book excellent performance

The book was well read and easy to follow - if a little dated. The plot was straight-forward and a nice distraction from the seriousness of everyday life. Rather a short book - but most of Wodehouse's stores are!

The usual Wodehouse fun
