About this listen

“I have the honour to offer up to you, thanks to the good people of Audible, a selection of some of my very favourite Wodehouse. If these stories are new to you I hope it will be the beginning of a lifelong pleasure, if some or all are familiar I hope you will welcome them like old friends.” (Stephen Fry)

Audible Studios presents this brand new performance by Stephen Fry of some of his favourite Jeeves stories from P.G. Wodehouse, with an exclusive introduction.

The Jeeves Collection contains:

The Inimitable Jeeves

A classic collection of 11 stories featuring some of the funniest episodes in the life of Bertie Wooster, gentleman, and Jeeves, his gentleman's gentleman - in which Bertie's terrifying Aunt Agatha appears, seeking whom she may devour, while Bertie's friend Bingo Little falls in love with seven different girls in succession (including the best-selling romantic novelist Rosie M. Banks). And Bertie, with Jeeves's help, hopes to evade the clutches of the terrifying Honoria Glossop.

Carry On Jeeves

10 more marvellous stories introduce us to Jeeves, whose first ever duty is to cure Bertie's raging hangover ('If you would drink this, sir...it is a little preparation of my own invention. It is the Worcester Sauce that gives it its colour. The raw egg makes it nutritious. The red pepper gives it its bite. Gentlemen have told me they have found it extremely invigorating after a late evening.')

Right-Ho Jeeves

The second full-length novel featuring Jeeves and Bertie Wooster, after Thank You, Jeeves. The story is mostly set at Brinkley Court, the home of Bertie's Aunt Dahlia, and introduces the recurring characters Gussie Fink-Nottle and Madeline Bassett. Bertie's friend Tuppy Glossop and cousin Angela Travers also feature in the novel, as does Brinkley Court's prized chef, Anatole.

The Code of the Woosters

The third full-length novel to feature Bertie Wooster and his valet Jeeves. It introduces Sir Watkyn Bassett, the owner of a country house called Totleigh Towers, where the story takes place, and his intimidating friend Roderick Spode. It is also a sequel to Right Ho, Jeeves, continuing the story of Bertie's newt-fancying friend Gussie Fink-Nottle and Gussie's droopy and overly sentimental fiancée, Madeline Bassett.

Joy in the Morning

Bertie is persuaded to brave the home of his fearsome Aunt Agatha and her husband Lord Worplesdon, knowing that his former fiancée, the beautiful and formidably intellectual Lady Florence Craye will also be in attendance.

Stephen Fry

Stephen Fry is an English actor, screenwriter, author, playwright, journalist, poet, comedian, television presenter, film director and all-round national treasure. Whilst at university, Fry became involved with the Cambridge Footlights, where he met his long-time collaborator and friend Hugh Laurie. As half of the comic double act Fry and Laurie, he co-wrote and co-starred in A Bit of Fry & Laurie and Jeeves and Wooster. Fry’s acting roles include Blackadder, Kingdom, Bones, V for Vendetta, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows and The Hobbit trilogy. He has written and presented several documentary series and as a proudly out gay man, the award-winning Out There, documenting the lives of lesbian, bisexual gay and transgender people around the world is part of his 30-year advocacy of the rights of the LGBT community. Fry has written four novels: The Liar, The Hippopotamus (made in to a feature film in 2018), Making History and The Stars’ Tennis Balls. Translated into many languages, they have never been out of print. The most recently published works are Mythos, Heroes and Troy, a trilogy retelling the Greeks myths from the Creation to the aftermath of the Trojan War.

I’ve laughed and laughed and laughed ! The whole thing is such a tonic and so different from my normal choice - delightful narration as usual from the talented Mr Fry!

The Champagne of witty Fiction!

In my opinion one of the worlds greatest comic authors, read by a truly wonderful narrator. I really hope they do the entire works of Wodehouse.

A perfect combination

This is Stephen Fry reading PG Wodehouse, if it's not your cup of tea then perhaps brilliance isn't your thing?

Consider this

Finished it and immediately starting to relisten. I'm not a fan of Fry's other narrations but I can't fault this at all, it's like he was made to read these roles. I tried Cecil as I know he's highly regarded but there's no comparison imo.

Also this is my first introduction to PG Wodehouse, and Bertie and Jeeves, and the wit and humour in each turn of phrase consistently makes me laugh out loud.

Can't recommend this highly enough and cannot wait for volume 2!

So, so good

There are some reviewers who think that Stephen Fry doesn’t narrate Bertie Wooster well. I disagree. If this was a dramatisation then Stephen Fry would be miscast, but it isn’t, it’s a narration. I can only think the success of Fry and Laurie’s Jeeves and Wooster has influenced opinion. Stephen Fry knows Wodehouse inside out, and appreciates the skill of his writing. Wodehouse influences modern comedy writing even now, and I can’t think of a more qualified person to let rip with 40 hours of this fantastic material.

For my quid’s worth, I also challenge those reviews that label Wodehouse a Nazi and a racist. Those reviews are ill informed and would benefit from a bit more research. There were plenty of members of the English establishment who were desperate to collaborate with the Nazis, but Wodehouse was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and was held against his will. Fortunately he’s been given a reprieve in recent years, which apparently isn’t widely known.

Some of the vocabulary Wodehouse uses is racist. Certainly that was picked up by my children, and in 2021 that language definitely jars. This doesn’t mean that Wodehouse was racist, it means that the vocabulary at the time included racist elements. People didn’t know any better, and if you pick up anything written by Wodehouse’s contemporaries you’d find equally uncomfortable phrases. As you would reading Shakespeare or Chaucer. I don’t think you can either sanitise the text or cast it into the pit.

Ultimately, Stephen Fry’s reading of Wodehouse’s most lyrical comedy is superb. Can’t wait for volume 2.

Perfect narration for classic Wodehouse
