Synopsis

What Ho! Audie and AudioFile Golden Voice award winning narrator Simon Jones revives the classic pairing of Bertie Wooster and his valet Jeeves in this dazzling new recording of Right Ho, Jeeves. Straight from his role in the eagerly anticipated Downton Abbey movie, Simon Jones brings the charming, wacky world of everyone’s favorite bumbling aristocrat, Bertie Wooster, and his brilliant, long-suffering manservant Jeeves to sparkling new life.

Right Ho, Jeeves, first published in 1934, features Bertie and Jeeves installed at Brinkley Court, the home of Bertie’s formidable Aunt Dahlia. The usual mayhem betwixt Bertie’s friends and relatives ensues, with Bertie inadvertently – and inevitably – fanning the flames of chaos, leaving Jeeves to come to the rescue of all in the end.

BONUS! We’ve included the first complete Bertie and Jeeves story, “Leave it to Jeeves”, as a special addition. Bertie and Jeeves are in New York City and Bertie attempts to aid his artistic friend Corky in his pursuit of love. All goes dreadfully awry and, naturally, only Jeeves can untangle the knots.

The stories are followed by a delightful interview in which Simon Jones talks with Alison Larkin about England, America, Douglas Adams, P G Wodehouse and his own encounters with the number 42.

The plot isn't important: as usual, misunderstandings and peevishness disrupt the general mood of an old English country house, lovers are parted and social b......more

Another adventure with Jeeves, the butler, and his employer the great, maybe... Bertram (Bertie) Wooster the so - called master. But who is really in charge? And for that matter the smartest? It's very apparent from the beginning and the butler did it. However this isn't a murder mystery; only the p......more

Goodreads review by Anne

This is one that I will definitley read again! Bertie Wooster, thoroughly peeved that everyone thinks Jeeves is the brains of the house, decides to insert himself into the role of savior to friends and family alike. This means convincing a few pals who are having trouble with their lady loves to disr......more
