Summary

Frederick, Earl of Ickenham, remains young at heart. So it is for him the act of a moment to lean out of the Drones Club window with a catapult and ping the silk top-hat off his grumpy in-law, the distinguished barrister Sir Raymond Bastable - but unfortunately things don't end there. The sprightly earl finds that his action has inspired a scandalous bestseller and a film script - but this is as nothing compared with the entangled fates of the couples that surround him.

In this delightful novel by the master of comic fiction, Uncle Fred will discover that only he, with his fabled sweetness and light can save the day.

Sublime

It’s Jonathan Cecil reading an Uncle Fred story. Of course it’s pure audio perfection. Wonderful.

Wonderfully entertaining

Jonathan Cecil’s narration is superb. Proper upper class accent and the voices of all the other characters so well done - really bringing the characters to life. Absolutely brilliant!

For all P. G. Woodhouse fans

Jonathan Cecil is the perfect narrator for Woodhouse novels - both Woodhouse’ prose and Cecil’s narration are a joy to listen to.

Wonderful Wodehouse in his element.

A classic Wodehouse tale of twists, turns, misunderstandings, mayhem, and happy endings! Loved it all.

Well narrated, another good read from PG Wodehouse as expected, like putting on a pair of comfy slippers.
