Publisher Description
A rollicking collection of six fully dramatised Jeeves & Wooster novels, starring Michael Hordern and Richard Briers.
In The Inimitable Jeeves, Aunt Agatha is forcing Bertie to get engaged to the formidable Honoria Glossop. Can Jeeves save the day?
Right Ho, Jeeves sees mayhem breaking out at Brinkley Court, but there are more brains in the Wooster household than just Jeeves...
In The Code of the Woosters, who would think that a silver cow-creamer could cause so much trouble? Uncle Tom wants it and Aunt Dahlia is blackmailing Bertie to steal it.
In Joy in the Morning, Steeple Bumphleigh is a village to be avoided for Bertie, as it contains the appalling Aunt Agatha. Still, there are good deeds to be done.
Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit finds Jeeves in for a few surprises when returns from his annual shrimping holiday in Bognor Regis.
In Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves, Madeline Bassett and Gussie Fink-Nottle’s engagement is on the rocks, and poor Bertie's next in line for the fair maiden’s hand.
Publisher’s note: As of January 2025, the dramatisations have been re-ordered into their correct order, by original broadcast date.

Customer Reviews
Clever & packed with humour
Characterful and packed with humour. I’ve listened to a several different narrators for Wodehouse and this audio book is a great collection of witty stories, brilliantly told by exceptional actors.
Not the best
If you like the sound of someone pretending to masticate their food and make a sound as if they’ve just been sick two minutes before, carry on. Richard Briers is not the voice I’d listen to again on audio book. His partaking of food on the script made my stomach turn. Sad, as he’s otherwise a good actor.
