About this listen

When Maud Marsh flings herself into George Bevan's cab in Piccadilly, he starts believing in damsels in distress. George traces his mysterious traveling companion to Belpher Castle, home of Lord Marshmoreton, where things become severely muddled. Maud's aunt, Lady Caroline Byng, wants Maud to marry Reggie, her stepson. Maud, meanwhile, is known to be in love with an unknown American she met in Wales. So when George turns up speaking American, a nasty case of mistaken identity breaks out. In fact, the scene is set for the perfect Wodehouse comedy of errors.

Can’t go wrong with PG Wodehouse. It’s delightful and won’t leave you questioning your view of reality. Enjoy a few laughs and return to a world where everything is as it should be (as it used to be). Jonathan Cecil was flawless.

Vintage PG Wodehouse but without Bertie Wooster or Jeeves

More classic woodhouse. Great characters and nice plot. Jonathon Cecil is once again peerless as the narrator

Another gem

Jonathan Cecil performs this beautifully and the book is a gem. Makes a change ( for me) not to have Jeeves, Wooster and the usual cast of characters involved. PGW seems to have been addressing his American audience when writing this but it doesn’t suffer too much for it.
