Reviews
smashing!

This is brilliant! One of the funnies books I’ve ever heard. The narrator is maturing into quite a rummy reader and all that. At a few points I laughed so hard I thought I couldn’t go on, but I’m up and taking nourishment.
Funny!

Mark Nelson does a good job reading these very entertaining escapades of Mr Wooster and his butler Jeeves. However a reader who could deliver this recording in the appropriate British accents would make this audio absolutely hilarious!
Great fun

Charming collection of short stories featuring the irresistible pairing of Wodehouse’s quietly brilliant man servant Jeeves and his predicament prone employer Bertie Wooster. Includes several stories featuring Wodehouse’s earlier prototype Reggie Pepper. Bertie and Reggie’s richly colorful English slang is half the fun. Perfect escape from the cares of the real world.
a fun listen
A LibriVox Listener
this series of short stories or episodes is very outside my usual listening preferences but I enjoyed both the storytelling and the narration. If you are into the 1910's then I recommend this as a great source of turn of the century vernacular - not quite Edwardian, very nearly roaring 20's

I so love this book! The perfect amount of humour and the perfect amount wit and twists! I surely, recommend it to all. Also, the narrator has narrated the book in an amazing manner!
So much fun

As a great fan of the Jeeves and Wooster TV show, it was easy for me to picture the all of the scenes as they were narrated so expertly by Mark Nelson. Nobody can top him for creative narration. All of the stories are entertaining and so much fun.
Great Book, Amazing Reader

This novel was well written, witty and very entertaining. The reader really brings Jeeves to life. Actually, I dont think anyone could possibly read this better. I will explore other works by this author. I love their style. Great book to listen to before bedtime after praying.
Great book & reader

I have no faults to find with either the book or the reader. For those of you who would prefer a British accent, I recommend you look for & purchase the audio book. These are all volunteers, and do an awesome job
