Wodehouse is always a breath of fresh air in the wilderness of comedy. Jonathan Cecil does a fantastic narration as well. Highly recommended.

  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Audible free, a decent Jeeves volume, and learning it's possible to have consumed too many Jeeves... The writing and use of language is witty and terrific as usual

Wooster is the best. He’s like an alien that’s long assimilated to the dandy English world and is now explaining his daily life to other aliens.

The plot is bloody ridiculous, but the writing is sublime. Funny and smart, and a very enjoyable read

Feeling a little jaded with the darker nights and winter descending? Cheer yourself up with ‘Jeeves’ and ‘Bertie’ and the wonderful turns of phrase used by PG Wodehouse in his very funny books. Guaranteed laughs on each page.

‘The Mating Season’ is a great example of the author at his best. Over the top plot line, larger than life characters delivering the funniest dialogue and a happy and predictable outcome.

You’ll just feel better!

Genius use of prose, very witty, very funny. The theatre scenes are hilarious.
