June 2012 Guest Editor Joanne Harris on The Inimitable Jeeves...
One of my perennial comfort reads. After all these years in print, still as surprisingly witty and fresh as a Noel Coward musical.
The Lovereading view...
A collection of stories about Wodehouse's terrifically funny Jeeves and Wooster. A marvellous introduction if you have never read any and a joyous reminder if it has been some time since you escaped in to their world.
The second instalment of Jeeves and Wooster's bally spiffing adventures is chock-full of unabridged stories of sparkling brilliance. Martin Jarvis is on top form, voicing a whole range of colourful characters, including the hapless incurable romantic Bingo Little, superbly. From money-making schemes involving placing wagers on the lengths of vicars' sermons to poor Bingo producing the village school Christmas entertainments, every one of Wodehouse's celebrated short stories is guaranteed to raise chortles from even the most stony-faced listener! Martin Jarvis is a leading British actor, whose acclaimed audiobook reading is always a delight to hear.
