A perfectly pleasant collection of early Wodehouse short stories. All were at least mildly humorous and the narration of the audio by Frederick Davidson helped add to my enjoyment.

Not as good as some of Wodehouse's other books. The short stories do not allow the humor to fully develop or for Wodehouse to use his best humor strategy, dialogue, to its effectiveness.

The first Wodehouse I read. Enjoyable, light comedies. I liked these better than the Jeeves stories, which I read later, and which are in first-person. These stories, with a third-person narrator, allow Wodehouse to make more allusions and witticisms which wouldn't occur to Bertie Wooster.

This was such a cute story. I can't recall ever hearing it before, but it seems vaguely familiar. I liked the story and the narration was good. I listened to this via Audible.
