P.G Wodehouse books are always entertaining and amusing. I prefer listening to them because I think they just come across better on audio than in print. There are many different narrators, but I always try to get the ones narrated by Jonathan Cecil if at all possible. He's definitely my favorite narrator of Wodehouse's work.
The Mr. Mulliner books feature the resident storyteller of the bar parlor of the Angler's Rest Public House.
This is a series of nine short stories almost always featuring some relative of Mr. Mulliner and usually some romance that's either going well or going poorly or (often) both.
Plenty of delightful characters with delightful names and quirks. Some characters are in multiple stories.
Written in the late 1920's, these stories and still delightful and I recommend listening to the editions narrated by Jonathan Cecil.

I love the world of PG Wodehouse. These characters lived through some dark times and Wodehouse's ability to keep to so light is fantastic.
A series of short stories elegantly disguised as a book. Beautifully written as always, but without a good character or solid plot to carry them through it wasn't as good

The Mulliner stories are a source of unending delight. They bring together a wider set of characters and personalities but they all carry the same same goofiness you associate with Wodehouse tropes. I particularly enjoyed the stories involving Bobby- she is great material for a series of her own!!
