Enjoyed. Will do the whole series right over again some day. That's what it is for. (

Gorgeous. The 7th Jeeves and Wooster novel is underappreciated in my opinion. Lunatic bliss. (

An especially delightful edition in the Bertie and Jeeves cannon. I especially loved the subplot of the moustache because that is a frequent subplot in my marriage (consider me Jeeves on this issue). (

Jonathan Cecil again excels in this audiobook narration of Bertie Wooster's entanglement with Florence Craye, Stilton Cheesewright and his Aunt Dahlia's attempt to sell her magazine The Lady's Boudoir to Mr. Trotter. To add to the fun, Lord Sidcup (formerly known as Spode) appears at Uncle Tom's invitation to look at Dahlia's pearl necklace, causing consternation and confusion.

Cecil's voice for the regular cast of characters was as always wonderful but his voice for Mr. Trotter, a Yorkshire newspaper magnate, wavered a little -- sometimes more northern than others. (

Laugh-out-loud funny! Dialogue is on point and the plot is just the right amount of convoluted. (

Dedication

First words

As I sat in the bath-tub, soaping a meditative foot and singing, if I remember correctly, 'Pale Hands I Loved Beside the Shalimar', it would be deceiving my public to say that I was feeling boomps-a-daisy.
