Story
=====
Here are the zany misadventures of foggy-minded aristocrat Bertie Wooster and his sharp-witted valet, Jeeves. They visit Steeple Bumpleigh, home of Bertie's Uncle Percy, also the home of Bertie's ex-fiancée, Florence, and her new fiancé, Constable Stilton Cheesewright. In addition, Bertie's cousin, Nobby, wants Bertie's help in gaining Uncle Percy's approval of her writer fiancé. To complicate the romantic antics, Stilton thinks Bertie wants to reconcile with Florence (as does Florence) and threatens bodily harm. Into the muddle comes Jeeves, who, as always, saves the day. It's hard to improve on this treasure, but Jonathan Cecil does it with an impeccable, wildly funny narration.

    So many thanks! These have been very much appreciated. I now know that Jonathan Cecil is the definitive voice for Wodehouse. I was wondering if you have anymore, awful cheek I know but I’ve become addicted!

      I have found this one already. There's some good stuff but no talking books apart from the wince inducing librivox variety, certainly nothing ready by his lordship Cecil.

    Together, they find themselves at the Aunt-ridden Deverill Hall, Hampshire, seat of the imposing Dame Daphne
    Winkworth, where Gussie's on-off engagement to Madeline Bassett is once again in danger, leaving Bertie at risk of

    marry her himself... All of Jeeves' considerable powers are required to bring things to a satisfactory conclusion.

    Hi Rick,
    Thanks for what will be many hours of enjoyment with these audiobooks.In the UK we have recently been treated to reruns of Stephen Fry & Hugh Laurie playing the characters on television.
    I have some BBC Radio broadcasts with Richard Briars & Michael Hordern in the leads. Will check if they haven`t already been posted in the groups and if the quality is good I will start posting a few in a new discussion.
    Regards

    William
