About this listen

Written when he was 25, Love Among the Chickens launched P.G. Wodehouse's career as a novelist and introduced the world to Ukridge, one of his most extraordinary inventions. This fascinating early book holds within it so many of the themes which Wodehouse was to make his own. This edition uses Wodehouse's 1920 revised edition of the 1906 original.

I didn’t want it to finish. Jonathan Cecil strikes the right note. Just lovely. I will listen to it again.

Delightful.

Great story , brilliant characters and plenty of laugh out loud moments . I loved it . PG Woodhouse never fails to lift the spirits whilst the world around us goes mad.

Loved it

Very entertaining story, zips along, very funny. Chicken farms seem to be a recurring theme for Wodehouse, and this time the appalling Ukridge is the would-be chicken farmer, helped unwillingly by his many creditors. Alongside that the narrator falls in love, and struggles against his beloved's bad tempered father.

Superb! A romp!

A fairly straightforward plot compared with his later novels but the humour and farcical situations are already to the fore. Great fun!

Earliest Wodehouse

I loved this story so much, and Jonathan Cecil was brilliant at bringing the characters to life. Can’t fault it at all.

So so enjoyable

I bought this as one of the few PGW titles not in my collection and it’s certainly the weakest. Overly long, it would have benefitted from a keener editor.
The story is saved by an entertaining ending and, of course, the narration is excellent as ever from the estimable JC.

Not at his best
