3.5* rounded up due to Jonathan Cecil's marvelous narration. ( )

A patchy collection of P. G. Wodehouse short stories.

The Jeeves story is my favourite. It features Wooster in a typical situation where he has to do something he doesn't want to do and relies on Jeeves to help him win the day. Features some good comedy.

The last of the ten tales, which centres around Oofy Prosser trying to get two wrestlers to put on a show, proved a tedious experience. The one featuring Ukridge isn’t much better, but then I don’t usually take to Ukridge stories. The other seven tales ranged from average to quite good. ( )
