Format:Audio CD
The hilarious book by PG Wodehouse has been done justice in this rendition of 'Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit' It has the same fruitiness and vigour in the characters as portrayed in the book. The CD tells the story of the blundering Bertie Wooster, who as the favourite for the Drones club darts tournament has been drawn by D'arcy or 'Stilton' Cheesewright who stands to win 56 pounds if he wins , thinks that Bertie is pining with love for Florence Craye, Stiltons' fiancee, and wishes to break Bertie's spine in 5 places. Florence goes to visit Berties Aunt Dahlia and by some horrible mix up Bertie is persuaded to join her at his Aunts home in Brinkley,and as if that isn't enough there is a huge mistake with some fake pearls... Call on Jeeves the worlds brainiest gentlemans gentleman to help Bertie out of this fearful predicament. An enjoyable listen, I reccomend this to anyone.

It would be far too complicated to go into a Wodehouse plot. At any given moment there are usually about fifty different strands running through a story, all of which get resolved neatly at the end by the ever competent and delightful Jeeves. Bertie's moustache is the latest fashion faux pas to cause a rift between him and Jeeves. As ever, Bertie is allowed just enough rope to hang himself with before Jeeves allows him to decide to shave it off! Wondrous

In this peerless example of droll, tongue-in-cheek humor, P. G. Wodehouse continues the adventures of Bertie Wooster, an often silly member of the upper class who depends on his much more sensible "gentleman's gentleman," Jeeves, to keep his life from falling apart. In this novel, Wooster has been growing a mustache for the two weeks that Jeeves has been on a shrimping holiday, and he fears that Jeeves will not like it. Sure, enough Jeeves does not, and neither do any of his other friends—except for Lady Florence Craye, his former fiancée, now engaged to Stilton Cheesewright (to Bertie's great relief).
The fate of the mustache is only the starting point for Wodehouse's comedy of errors, however, as Bertie goes from London to his Aunt Dahlia's country home, where Lady Florence, Stilton Cheesewright, and Percy Gorringe, a young man who wants to produce a play based on Lady Florence's book, are also in attendance. As Lady Florence and Stilton Cheesewright play out their on-again, off-again romance, Percy is casting longing eyes at Florence, who is flirting with Bertie once again.
As is always the case with Wodehouse, events quickly become more complex. Percy wants Bertie to invest one thousand pounds in the play. Aunt Dahlia, wanting to sell her magazine, decides to "salt the mine," secretly selling her pearls so she can serialize a novel by a famous romance author to make the magazine more attractive. Her husband, at this point, decides to have the pearls appraised. Bertie takes Florence to a nightclub to "do research for her new novel," and he is arrested. Not surprisingly, it is the resilient Jeeves who comes to the rescue, time and time again, proving that good sense and grounding in the real world are far more important than the silly pretensions of Bertie and his friends.
Wodehouse's gentle satire of upperclass life makes his novels appeal to a broad spectrum of readers. His word play, consummate sense of irony, and ability to make dialogue sound simultaneously absurd and realistic create a fast-moving set of outrageous scenes in which Jeeves, the "gentleman's gentleman" proves to be the real hero, the one person who knows how to live in this silly world. n Mary Whipple

Awesome
As expected, this is ace. Hordern is excellent, Briers is a little too old but enthusiastic enough, and Wodehouse's brilliant dialogue is well served.

While not the best in the series this is still very enjoyable. Even when treading familiar territory P.G. Wodehouse can never be accused of being formulaic. Read more
