About this listen

At Deverill Hall, an idyllic Tudor manor in the picture-perfect village of King's Deverill, impostors are in the air. The prime example is man-about-town Bertie Wooster, doing a good turn to Gussie Fink-Nottle by impersonating him while he enjoys fourteen days away from society after being caught taking an unscheduled dip in the fountains of Trafalgar Square. Bertie is of course one of nature's gentlemen, but the stakes are high: if all is revealed, there's a danger that Gussie's simpering fiancée Madeline may turn her wide eyes on Bertie instead.

It's a brilliant plan - until Gussie himself turns up, imitating Bertram Wooster. After that, only the massive brain of Jeeves (himself in disguise) can set things right.

Utterly perfect and hilarious. One of my favourite books from my favourite comedy writer PG Wodehouse.

I always enjoy reading or listening to Wodehouse, especially when read by Cecil.

You always know what to expect with Jeeves and this is no different. A great romp through Bertie's world and has some of the greats including Guddie, Madeline, Catsmeat and the always fantastic Aunt Agatha.

Worth your time and as always it brings a smile to my fave whenever I hear it.

Great listen

This book had me laughing out loud and chortling. How refreshing after several weeks of reading blood and thunder! I shall be back soon.

Unerringly funny

One of the best Jeeves and Wooster novels. A fine farce in which Bertie has to pretend to be Gussie; while Gussie pretends to be Bertie. As usual, Bertie's chums conspire to land him in the soup forcing Jeeves to haul him to safety. Featuring a host of magnificently named characters, including Catsmeat Potter Pirbright and Esmund Haddock of Haddock's Heartache Hokies, plus 5 terrifying aunts, it's a delight. Beautifully narrated by Cecil.
