It was a preference for cricket over schoolwork that united Mike and Psmith in their reluctance to attend their new school, Sedleigh. The school insists that its attendees be keen, but it is sorely unprepared for boys of such foresight and resources as Mike and Psmith who have decided to indulge in all manner of high-jinks and adventures.

He was a gossip columnist’s dream. Piccadilly Jim’s life was a collage of broken promises and drunken brawls. And his straight-laced Victorian aunt was not amused. So, she decided to reform him. Unfortunately, her reform project started at a time when Jim had fallen in love and had already decided to reform himself. Thus, life became complicated. Jim pretends to be himself - a beautiful display of Wodehousean logic; hilarious indeed!

Historia
We find ourselves in the austerity of the 1950s, when England's aristocracy was feeling the pinch. Bertie Wooster has gone to a residential self-help school to learn how to darn his socks. Until he re-emerges, Jeeves has signed up with Bill Rowcester (pronounced Roaster), an earl who is failing to make ends meet in trade, and yearning to sell his stately home, which has charm and damp in equal measure. In his new environment Jeeves is required to exert his mammoth brain to what would be breaking point for any normal intellect.

Webster's Dictionary gives the meaning of the word "miasma" as "an infection floating in the air; a deadly exhalation". And in the opinion of Mr. Robert Ferguson, that description, though perhaps a little too flattering, on the whole summed up Master Roland Bean pretty satisfactorily. Until the previous day, Master Bean had served Mr. Ferguson in the capacity of office-boy. But there was that about Master Bean which made it practically impossible for anyone to employ him for long.

There’s a literary niche for all tastes including those who think that either Agatha Christie wasn’t funny enough or that PG Wodehouse didn’t feature anywhere near as many baffling murders as he could have. The Case of the Canterfell Codicil is a classic, cozy, locked-room mystery written in the style of an homage to PG Wodehouse.

The unapologetic intensity with which Emily Brontë wrote this story ensures that it will forever be considered one of the greatest works of English literature. A passionate tale of a chaotic and often violent love, Wuthering Heights transcends your average romance and, with its Gothic undertones, takes the listener on a journey through one man's lustful hunt for revenge.

The scene of this entertaining story is laid in a charming English village. The plot centres round Miss Barbara Buncle, a maiden lady who was obliged to write a book because – as she naively explained – her dividends were so poor. Unfortunately, Miss Buncle had no imagination, so she wrote about her friends – quite kindly and truthfully, of course, for she was a benevolent and veracious soul.

Historia
The fiction world of today needs a “Saint” more than it ever did. For years now that scene has been dominated by the “anti-heroes"—those grim gray operators in a sunless sub-culture where global issues are worked out with totally unemotional pragmatism, those hapless uninspired puppets manipulated and expended by ruthlessly dedicated little brothers of Big Brother. It made morbidly fascinating narrative, but it never gave anyone a lift until it climaxed in the hyper-gadgeted parodies of 007 extravaganzas.

We find ourselves in the austerity of the 1950s, when England's aristocracy was feeling the pinch. Bertie Wooster has gone to a residential self-help school to learn how to darn his socks. Until he re-emerges, Jeeves has signed up with Bill Rowcester (pronounced Roaster), an earl who is failing to make ends meet in trade, and yearning to sell his stately home, which has charm and damp in equal measure. In his new environment Jeeves is required to exert his mammoth brain to what would be breaking point for any normal intellect.

Fine introduction to P. G. Wodehouse
I see that some reviewers aren't too thrilled with B. J. Harrison's narration on the Jeeves stories, but I personally found it engaging, nicely capturing the charm and humor of the stories. Occasionally he makes Jeeves sound a bit robotic perhaps, but overall I thoroughly enjoyed Harrison's rendition.
The "collection" seems quite random, with a smattering of Jeeves stories interlaced with other short stories and one novelette, and capped by the full-length novel, "Right Ho, Jeeves."
At the price, a great value for many hours of fun listening. British humor at its very best.

In his own whimsical universe’s parlance, Wodehouse “stands alone.”Harrison’s presentation of this master of finely-pressed mischief is excellent.

Better than Jonathan Cecil
Yes, I dare to say that, and I adored Mr. Cecil's rendering of Wodehouse, until I tried BJ Harrison. SO glad I did! Now I deliberately seek Mr. Harrison's narrations of Wodehouse. His pacing is, IMO, much better, not so rapid that the characters often sound spastic. Mr. Harrison gives a unique voice to every character and they all sound like real people, not caricatures, and he does women better than most of the countless male narrators I have listened to, and is equal with the best of them. He also puts his entire soul into the performance, or so it seems to me. Wodehouse comes to life! There are many American characters in these delightful, brilliant, wonderful, hysterically funny stories, and Mr. Harrison plays them to perfection while doing a great job with the contrasting British accent. I'm American, and I don't slam audio books based on how absolutely perfectly a British narrator does American accents.
I will listen to this Audio book every now and then for the rest of my life. I LOVE everything about it. Please Mr. Harrison, keep narrating!

Great Anthology But ...
I had never read a great deal of P.G. Wodehouse, but so many of my literate friends love him. I was hesitant about this anthology, because one or two of the reviews said the narrator slurred words and wasn't clear. But I wanted an anthology of writings, so I could get a sense of the range of the author. First, the narrator is absolutely terrific, very clear and a wonderful actor with so many voices and accents. He brings the characters to life. I think the issue with the narrator is British terms that may not be familiar to American readers. And P. G. Wodehouse has an impeccable command of English. These stories are so wonderfully written, they are a delight. They do make you laugh out loud. I now understand why people love P.G. Wodehouse. However, I just find Bertie Wooster and Jeeves dated. Not in an historical sense, but in a cultural sense. We no longer live in a world of aristocratic or patriarchal authority, the world of service Jeeves inhabits, or the Great Depression, so making fun of a shallow, silly, idly rich man holds no satisfaction for me. These stories remind me of the Great Gildersleeve and Life of Riley on radio in the 30's and 40's, where the overbearing man of the household fumbles his way through a story of twists and turns that turn out right in the end. I'm glad I listened, but I won't be listening to any more.

PERFECTION!
British humor doesn't get better than this! Wodehouse is the master of droll wit and B. J. Harrison is BRILLIANT! I seldom just guffaw out loud while listening to a book, but I did in this one. My husband, hearing me laugh, said, "Wow, sounds like you picked a winner!" Highly recommended if you want your spirits lifted.
