About this listen

 Seize this wonderful chance to embark on a Wodehousian voyage on the luxurious liner S.S. Atlantic - in the company of Monty Bodkin, whose passion for Gertrude Butterwick knows no bounds (except those set by the wild-at-heart Hollywood starlet Lotus Blossom and her pet alligator). Also aboard are a movie mogul, the centre-forward for the All-England ladies hockey team and the two Tennyson brothers (one of whom has been mistaken for the late poet laureate and given a fat movie contract...). Also a chatty steward, and a mouse doll in which all manner of things can be hidden. This hilarious comic novel is Wodehouse at full sail - a voyage of pure delight.©2008 Trustees of the Wodehouse Estate (P)2014 Audible, Inc.

The performance is sublime - exactly what Wodehouse needs. Cecil does bewilderment so beautifully. Plummy and hilarious.

A wonderful farce quite typical P.G.Wodehouse fashion a somewhat satyrical slant on the Upper Classes. 🤣🤣

Not the most logical of Wodehouse plots but lots of fun. Good to catch up with Bodkin again.
