About this listen

Abridged novel depicting the sinister affair of the 18th century cow-creamer and the small, brown, leather-covered notebook tests the Wooster soul as it has never been tested before. Friends and relations, in urgent need, queue up to beg for assistance in a variety of troublesome situations, and ruthless enemies stop at nothing in their determination to bring Bertie down.

Great story and great reading. Plenty of times I would burst into laughter when walking or on public transport. Once again Wodehouse writes it and Jarvis brings it to life, a bit more life as it's alive anyway. Sunlight perfection is a term I completely agree with.

A Great Story

They’re all great fun, but this is the classic, in my opinion. It’s absolutely hilarious, and it’s made even better by Martin Jarvis. I find it difficult to hear anyone else’s Bertie Wooster. I’ll revisit this one plenty of times, I’m sure.

The best Jeeves and Wooster book

This was my first Wodehouse, although I had seen television adaptations. The virtuosic use of the English language, in this era of illiteracy, was a joy and the plot was scintillating (although the constant reappearance of the cow creamer and helmet did become rather overdone towards the end). However, for me, the true star wasn’t Jeeves or Wooster but Martin Jarvis. His reading was extraordinary, playing all the parts with astonishing skill and flair. So vivid and inspired were the voices of each character that you couldn’t believe they were done by the same person. Very, very highly recommended.

Wonderful Wodehouse but equally wonderful Martin Jarvis.

Martin Jarvis makes this story come alive. Made me laugh out loud occasionally at the pomposity and stupidity of some of the upper crust in the story.

Well written and well read

Jeeves and Wooster + Martin Jarvis = match made in heaven. Highly highly recommend. This had me chuckling out loud again and again!

A absolute delight
