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.

One to Keep Around for the Little One
Would you listen to Rikki Tikki Tavi again? Why?
Yes! The story is captivating. The narration is brisk, but valiant in its voices and efforts.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Rikki. Hero.
What does Curtis Sisco bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Flourishes with his voice. A quickened understanding of the pace of the story.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
A Mongoose finds his Home
Any additional comments?
Bought it a little too early for my 2 year old, but will definitely listen again and again as he gets older. The story should get richer with each listen.

Not my favorite
I did not care for the narration of this story. I think it would’ve made a better impression if I had read it. This is a children’s story and will probably be more appreciated by the age group it was intended. It’s a very quick listen and I am glad I was able to add it to my library.
