My Man Jeeves

Starred review from September 15, 2011
Originally published in 1919, Wodehouse's classic presents readers with a glimpse into the world of the upper class with Bertie Wooster and his valet, Jeeves. In the vignettes that followed, Jeeves showed his remarkable abilities to fix any problem and provide solutions to any troublesome situation that Bertie—or his friends—found themselves facing. The dialog is crisp and erudite and, oftentimes, so funny that listeners will laugh out loud. This first collection of Jeeves stories introduces the world of Britain's different classes in a most entertaining listening experience. Jonathan Cecil provides the right accents for each character, creating the perfect British atmosphere. Highly recommended for all Anglophiles and anyone who enjoys British humor. The good stuff is ageless. [See "Audio/Video Must-Haves," "LJ" 5/15/05.—Ed.]—Gloria Maxwell, Metropolitan Community Coll.-Penn Valley Lib., Kansas City, MO
