About this listen

 Contained here are nine glorious episodes from the idyllic world of Wodehouse. There's a crime wave that was to rock Blandings Castle to its foundations which broke out towards the middle of a fine summer afternoon; Ukridge appears on Corky's doorstep at three in the morning, wearing his yellow mackintosh and requesting a whisky and soda; while the Oldest Member warns of the folly of driving into the father of the girl you love.©2014 P.G.

Critic reviews

"A brilliantly funny writer, perhaps the most consistently funny the English language has yet produced." (The Times [London])

"In this superb volume of short stories featuring some of his favorite characters, Nigel Lambert sounds as if Wodehouse himself directed him. His timing is flawless, his characterizations masterful.... This is a great comic interpreting the work of a great humorist." (AudioFile)

I have long loved PG Wodehouse - and now I feel the same about Nigel Lambert who is unutterably superb as the reader, the bringer to life, of this lovely collection of stories.

What did you like most about Lord Emsworth and Others?

Echoing the other reviews - have always loved reading Wodehouse, but Nigel Lambert is absolutely brilliant ! Its rare to have a reader do male and female voices, young and old equally well but he is just perfect.

Wodehouse brought superbly to life

Would you listen to Lord Emsworth and Others again? Why?

Yes. I love Wodehouse.

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

His characterizations are superb, especially the women.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I could have done but it's a series of discrete short stories, so I savoured each separately.

Beautifully read!

Excellent PG Wodehouse fare (as always) but rather let down by the decision to format 9 stories into 8 chapters rather than 9 with the consequent inevitable result that apart from Chapter 1 and story 1 no succeeding story began with its own chapter, Made selection of individual stories a tortuous process. Just so dumb 🥺

This is a truly wonderful Audiobook
It is warm, funny, brilliantly observed, and superbly narrated by Nigel Lambert who misses neither shade nor rib tickling nuance.
Not to be missed.
