Description de l’éditeur
A classic Jeeves and Wooster novel from P.G. Wodehouse, the great comic writer of the 20th century.
Purloining an antique cow creamer under the instruction of the indomitable Aunt Dahlia is the least of Bertie's tasks, for he has to play Cupid while feuding with Spode.
'A cavalcade of perfect joy.' - Caitlin Moran
'Sunlit perfection... Bask in its warmth and splendour.' - Stephen Fry
'The best English comic novelist of the century.' - Sebastian Faulks
'The greatest chronicler of a certain kind of Englishness' - Julian Fellowes
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Given the scrupulous care Wodehouse gave to plotting his hilarious screwball farces, and the unique narrative voice of his hapless hero, Bertie Wooster, the very notion of an abridged recording of one of his best books will offend purists. But that publishing choice aside, Martin Jarvis a veteran narrator for this author is once again outstanding in conveying all the elements that make Wodehouse one of the most memorable writers in all of English literature. Wooster, a well-meaning but clueless member of the British upper class, is once again roped into another harebrained scheme, this time by his Aunt Dahlia. Her deceptively simple request that he go into an antique shop and "sneer at a cow-creamer" proves anything but, and listeners will be captivated by the ensuing complications. The rich source material is more than done justice by Jarvis, who lends pitch-perfect, distinct voices to Wooster, Aunt Dahlia, and the omnipotent gentleman's gentleman, Jeeves, who can always be relied upon to extricate Wooster from any mess in which he finds himself stuck.
