The unthinkable has happened! After reaching the end of his infinitely patient tether through Bertie's incessant practising of the insufferable banjolele, Jeeves is about to leave Wooster's service. Never fear though, our favourite double-act is bound not to be apart for long, and there are many eccentric, problematic, charismatic, even trans-Atlantic characters to keep them company along the way!
No longer in master Bertie Wooster's employ, Jeeves is engaged with a new employer, Lord 'Chuffy' Chuffnell, an old friend of Bertie's. True to form, thus follows a supreme comedy of errors which is guaranteed to raise many a chortle, as Wooster travels to one of Chuffy's cottages in Dorset to carry on his banjolele practice in (dubious) peace.

First published in serialised form in The Strand magazine between 1933-4, Thank You, Jeeves is a novel that lends itself to audiobook, with its diverse range of dotty voices all relayed magnificently by master Wodehouse reader Martin Jarvis.

Critic reviews

"No one can do the milky, impervious voice of a marriage-brokering aunt like Martin Jarvis. What a good egg he is!"
"Wodehouse brightens up the dullest day and lightens the heaviest heart. So give yourself a tonic by listening to this comedy classic."
"Martin Jarvis brings the madcap world of Bertie Wooster and his brilliant valet Jeeves to life with canny comedic timing."

Excellent

This is horribly racist which makes it uncomfortable to listen to.
It is not appropriate to have books with demeaning and stereotypical themes in these times
of awareness and of ethical consciousness.

Racist

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

There is a subplot with minstrel band that uses language which is just not acceptable these days I love Martin Jarvis but I don't know why the language used didn't stick in his throat.

What could P. G. Wodehouse have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

The attitudes in the book were no doubt acceptable at the time, and the book is otherwise up to PGW's high standard.

Which character – as performed by Martin Jarvis – was your favourite?

Jeeves, always.

What character would you cut from Thank You, Jeeves?

The minstrel band subplot.

Unacceptable language for these times.
