Originally published in 1946, Joy in the Morning is another breezy Jeeves and Wooster story. There are near-miss engagements, scheming, unlucky coincidences, shouting from elderly relatives, one burned down house, a hockey stick in the night, and lots and lots of witty language. I already knew from the series that everything always turns out well in the end thanks to the assistance of the ever helpful Jeeves...

Consider this my PSA to add Jeeves and Wooster audiobooks to your life if you haven’t yet. The BBC full cast versions are brilliant, equal to Jonathan Cecil’s solo narrations.

Wodehouse just has an unparalleled way with words. Phrases like "out-Fred the nimblest Astaire" stick in the mind.

Delightful. PG Wodehouse uses the best expressions. Jonathan Cecil is (possibly) my favorite Jeeves narrator.
