Özet

Containing drafts of stories later rewritten for other collections (including Carry On, Jeeves), My Man Jeeves offers a fascinating insight into the genesis of comic literature’s most celebrated double-act. All the stories are set in New York, four of them featuring Jeeves and Wooster themselves; the rest concerning Reggie Pepper, an earlier version of Bertie. Plots involve the usual cast of amiable young clots, choleric millionaires, chorus-girls, and vulpine aunts, but towering over them all is the inscrutable figure of Jeeves, manipulating the action from behind the scenes.

Early or not, these stories are masterly examples of Wodehouse’s art, turning the most ordinary incidents into golden farce.

Nearly as much artistry seems to go into Jonathan Cecil's readings of Wodehouse stories as P.G. Wodehouse put into writing them. Perhaps it's because he could almost have descended from the Wodehouse universe himself that I've found no other narrator of Wodehouse to compare with him. It's very sad that there will be no new Jonathan Cecil readings since his death in 2011. I occasionally try other narrators, but none of them pinpoints the sublime absurdity of Wodehouse's characters and their predicaments as hilariously as Cecil does. Every character has a totally distinctive voice, and each voice brings the character to life vividly and unforgettably. If it's Wodehouse, it has to be Cecil.

Jonathan Cecil by far the best Wodehouse narrator

Loved it!

Jeeves is like a sassy Sherlock Homes man servant and I love the character. I have never finished a book this fast. I am definitely going to listen to this again 😁

Funny and sophisticated

A jolly book with eight funny stories in the collection, half of which feature the Jeeves and Bertie Wooster, while the others concern Reggie Pepper, who is an early prototype for Bertie Wooster. So this is a very early collection of stories, well read.

All Wodehouse, of course, but short stories, and not as satisfying as the full novels. This is a bit strange, as both stories and novels are perfect “background” listening. One can listen with perfect inattention: not much happens. And that’s the pleasure… . It’s all very comforting and amusing. But I just prefer the broad sweep of the full novels. Anti- novels?

Bits ‘n’ Pieces

A bit disappointing. Read by an American, and moreover an American who can't pronounce Chiswick! Also a lack of editing, so you sometimes get the benefit of hearing the narrator having two or three practices before he gets it right. The wit of PG shines through, but short of top hole.
