Summary

The peaceful slumber of the Worcester village of Rudge-in-the-Vale is about to be rudely disrupted. First there's a bitter feud between peppery Colonel Wyvern and the Squire of Rudge Hall, rich but miserly Lester Carmody. Second, that arch-villain Chimp Twist has opened a health farm - and he and Soapy and Dolly Molloy are planning a fake burglary so Lester can diddle his insurance company.

After the knockout drops are served, things get a little complicated. But will Lester's nephew John win over his true love, Colonel Wyvern's daughter Pat, and restore tranquility to the idyll? It's a close-run thing. . .

Brilliant

How can anyone use the same people, the same era and often the same story manage to produce more than 70 novels each one brilliantly different.

Most enjoyable

Another good romp in the English countryside with miscellaneous characters! Good fun story line and good narrator.

Brilliant plotting but less amusing than usual

Somewhat sentimental in comparison with other Wodehouse works. Nevertheless several classic laugh out loud moments. The plot twists are not just ingenious but believable. Jonathan Cecil as fantastic as ever.

Splendid

PG Wodehouse at his magnificent best. Sparkling prose, an inventive plot, and plenty of humour. Wonderful narration from Jonathan Cecil, as always

Classic!

So funny - predictable of-course - but that is part of the charm. Love the way the dog has a character as well.

Enjoyable

Had forgotten PH Wodehouse had a wider repertoire than Jeeves & Blandings. Nice to hear different characters, albeit same mold

Not enough laughs

Not enough laughs to sustain listening for many hours. I cut it half way through. The story is a bit dull too with many quite boring passages.
