If Lord Ickenham had not succumbed to the temptation to dislodge the hat of Beefy Bastable, the irascible QC, with a well-aimed Brazil nut, the latter's famous legal mind might never have been stimulated to literature. But the incident provoked Beefy to write his exposé of the younger generation, a novel so shocking that it caused endless repercussions for its hapless author, and sparked off a whole series of outrageous misunderstandings that it would take the inventive talents of Lord Ickenham himself to resolve.

I might enjoy Lord Ickenham more than Bertie Wooster. Excellent narration to a fun tale.

So fun

Wodehouse is a variable author, going from so-so to hilarious and compelling. And this is his best. Uncle Fred is a delightful character, and he absolutely shines in this one. He brings his desire to spread sweetness and light (or meddle in others' business) to the people around him, along with his tireless energy and utter disregard for this thing we call "the truth". Wodehouse spins a twisty, intertwined story which is an absolute delight to see resolved.

And the reading? Jonathan Cecil is always good, and in this one he is just spot-on with his timing and tones.

If you like Wodehouse, get this story.

If you don't know if you like Wodehouse, this is the one to try.

Wodehouse's best, brilliantly read

I've loved Wodehouse all my life. But, I've never loved one more.

Uncle Fred is his very best character.

And, the narrator is the best of all time.

Never loved a Wodehouse book more!!!
