An early Wodehouse but just as enjoyable. From below-stairs bets on engagements and hilarious misinformation-caused jumbles, this one does not disappoint.

I had loaded this audiobook on my iPhone a while back and forgot all about it until I recently ran out of listening materials. I'm glad I decided to give it a listen! The book is one of those predictable boy-meets-girl stories where the girl is in love with someone else. George, an American song-writer, meets Maude as she is attempting to avoid her brother. He offers to help this "damsel in distress" in her attempts to evade her disapproving family and see the man (another American) whom she met in Wales and fell madly in love with. I won't give away too much of the story, but it's quite entertaining, and the narration is very well done. Light but fun - sometimes we need just that!

I was a little disappointed to find that this book had no Jeeves...but I guess that’s on me! Still a fun rom-com!

A good early one, only hampered by the use of accented speech for some characters, which always annoy me. Ah well!

My favorite of the Wodehouse novels so far. A good-natured comedy of errors. Love is involved.

Mistaken identity, love triangles, and the servants gambling on the lot of it. Classic PGW, if not his most devastating.

This is another hilarious romantic comedy by P.G Wodehouse. He has a wonderful way of good-naturedly poking fun at early 20th century English gentry.
