Summary
For among those present were Florence Craye, to whom Bertie had once been engaged and her new fiancé 'Stilton' Cheesewright, who sees Bertie as a snake in the grass. And that biggest blot on the landscape, Edwin the Boy Scout, who is busy doing acts of kindness out of sheer malevolence.
All Bertie's forebodings are fully justified. For in his efforts to oil the wheels of commerce, promote the course of true love and avoid the consequences of a vendetta, he becomes the prey of all and sundry. In fact only Jeeves can save him.

Fantastic Naration
Jonathan Cecil's narration is brilliant and brings every character and scene into wonderfully sharp relief. The high standard of narration matches the equally sublime penmanship of PGW, whose turns of phrase are a joy to behold.

A joy as always
Having previously read all the Jeeves and Wooster books I was a little apprehensive about listening to the audio books. I need not have worried as these are a fantastic listen narrated perfectly by Jonathan Cecil once I got over comparing it to Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry. I am working my way through all of his books now and hopefully will not run out of them any time soon!!

Perfectly free of cynicism and malice
Just the fizzy tonic for these troubling times, and the Cecil makes the whole wheeze very easy on the ears.

As soon as he says the first word it grabs your attention and pulls you in ,instantly all these questions are going through your head . I have a love of writing myself and this book has sparked so many of my ideas .So I just want to say thanks Mr Workhouse and thanks audible!!!

Joy is right!
Jonathan Cecil was one of the greatest narrators of the stories of P.G. Wodehouse, especially the Jeeves and Wooster stories.
Silly, humourous, great fun, frivolous and with some of the wittiest and cleverest use of language. This story will provide you not just joy in the morning, but all times of the day.

Wodehouse at his best
All of the Jeeves and Wooster stories transport me to a sunny world of English country houses and small adventures. Totally perfect. Thank goodness for Jeeves

A True Joy
So here we are, volume eight of Wodehouse's Jeeves stories and the first one I've bothered to review.
Once again we see poor (not in the financial sense) Bertram "Bertie" Wooster manipulated into things by his far more intelligent Gentleman's Gentleman Jeeves. Apparently Jeeves wishes to spend the summer fishing and with that in mind "persuades" Bertie to travel to Steeple Bumpleigh to visit family. With a cast featuring but not limited to: old school chums, former fiancés, cousins, uncles, and the constabulary much misunderstanding and shenanigans ensue.
I, as many of my age and nationality, was introduced to the world of Jeeves and Wooster through the excellent Fry and Laurie adaptation from the early 90s. So here we are some thirty years later and I thought it would be fun to read the books. I say read where I really mean listen to the superb Audible audiobooks read by Jonathan Cecil. Have I mentioned I like these stories?
Wodehouse has ideas... the gentry tend to be rather dim and our man Jeeves is a positive genius... this isn't bad as a plot device and works very well in a "now what is the blighter's plan" way. I really do enjoy these stories though some care must betaken as they were written in a time where some ideas were still thought of as acceptable. That being said if you can accept that 1920s Britain was a very different place there's no reason not to like these tales.
Cecil's performance as narrator has been top notch through all eight of the books I've read(?) listened to(?) so far.

Once listened to Cecil nothing else will do.
Same formula, but as enjoyable as ever and the story is possibly the strongest yet.
