About this listen

My Man Jeeves, first published in 1919, introduced the world to affable, indolent Bertie Wooster and his precise, capable valet, Jeeves. Some of the finest examples of humorous writing found in English literature are woven around the relationship between these two men of very different classes and temperaments. Where Bertie is impetuous and feeble, Jeeves is coolheaded and poised.

This audiobook, the first collection of Jeeves and Wooster stories, includes "Absent Treatment", "Helping Freddie", "Rallying Round Old George", "Doing Clarence a Bit of Good", "Fixing It for Freddie", and "Bertie Changes His Mind".

Jeeves and Bertie are always entertaining, and here the story is read by he definitive Wodehouse voice actor - a joy.

Genius

Narration was not up to Stephen Fry's but still captured the essence of the characters.

Classic Wodehouse

You get a collection of eight stories here, though not all of them feature Wooster and Jeeves, The four that do are all set in New York, which is interesting, and we get the usual mixture of Bertie's friends and relatives. We do leave our favourite duo for a while, for earlier stories featuring the Wooster-like Reggie Pepper, but we don't lose P. G. Wodehouse's talent to amuse. And the final story does return us to Wooster, Jeeves, and New York, making four stories each.

The collection was first published in 1919, and some of the stories appeared later in revised versions - "Doing Clarence a Bit of Good", the fourth Reggie Pepper tale, was rewritten as "Jeeves Makes an Omelette" apparently, while "Rallying Round Old George" later became the Mr. Mulliner story "George and Alfred."

Anyway, narrator Jonathan Cecil does a good job here. If you've not tried P. G. Wodehouse before, one of the most entertaining writers of the twentieth century, this could make a good place to start.

A Fine Collection

Jonathan Cecil was a relatively minor actor of the sort produced by English theatre by the dozen in earlier times. Prior to finding his name in these lists he was one of those faces who'd be instantly recognised but I'd remain unable to name. In this and other voice performances Cecil is close to ideal, acting out all the voices so skilfully that the result is very difficult to imagine being improved upon.
His performance makes this Wodehouse excellent in every way, and although the book itself is a classic, it's greatly elevated by the brilliance of Mr Cecil's having nailed the book's reading-needs so utterly perfectly.

Not all of these short stories are about Jeeves and Bertie Wooster but they are all very enjoyable, and all set in that joyous, carefree environment of the well-to-do in the 1920s.
