About this listen

 My Man Jeeves, first published in 1919, introduced the world to affable, indolent Bertie Wooster and his precise, capable valet, Jeeves. Some of the finest examples of humorous writing found in English literature are woven around the relationship between these two men of very different classes and temperaments. Where Bertie is impetuous and feeble, Jeeves is coolheaded and poised.

This collection, the first book of Jeeves and Wooster stories, contains eight stories, including "Absent Treatment", "Helping Freddie", "Rallying Round Old George", "Doing Clarence a Bit of Good", "Fixing It for Freddie", and "Bertie Changes His Mind".

Rummy sort of a book this, what? I mean, I know squads of chappies wouldn?t touch it with a pair of extending sugar tongs. But then, as my Great Uncle Cleasant used to say, you can?t judge a book by the date of its library stamp. I mean, so far as Cless was concerned, he?d be less miffed by the fact that this appeared in 1919 than by the fact that old Pelham Grenville managed to slip at least three stories by that vagabond Reggie Pepper (son of the Colliery people) when you thought you were getting the full Jeeves and Wooster for your shilling. What a scamp, eh?
But, other than that, the gang?s all here ? Aunt Agatha, Corky, Rocky Todd and a setting that?s exclusively Manhattan, don?t you know. Station clerks peeping out over the battlements at Penn Station, the girls from 'Frolics at Midnight' and that scourge of musical comedy, the evangelist Jimmy Munday for heavens sake. Its one? long hoot from soup to nuts?The green dust jacket needs a little work, however, I?m sure you?ll agree, sir??

Corky, Rocky Todd ? the story begins splendidly

Only half of the stories involve Jeeves who is by far the best character in the book!

Need more Jeeves

not much Jeeves. lots of pepper. narrator's voice not to my taste, but that's personal preference.

I really enjoyed these early PG Wodehouse stories. For those who think there's not enough Jeeves, it's a collection of short stories and the convention at the time (only one year after the Great War) was to title the book after one of the stories. No-one realised at the time how popular Jeeves would become. There's a Katherine Mansfield collection of short stories published around the same time called 'Bliss' but there are about a dozen other quite different stories. Wodehouse and his publisher could have called it Reggie Pepper and who remembers him as fondly?

Great collection of short stories

Just done a back to back listen to My Man Jeeves, one read by the great Jonathan Cecil and ‘t’other read by Simon Prebble. That’s this one, don’t you know? Anyway both excellent. For my money Cecil just gets the nose on Wooster but Prebble finishes well on Reggie, a great PGW character that never found his way to stud. Great stories. Great readings. Recommended. (Bear in mind these were published in 1917. They’re still funny and as literate as anything you will find in the hundred years or more since.)

Pebble vs Cecil. Two brilliant narrators

Its low on both total runtime and of Jeeves content - the latter padded out by stuff with NOTHING to do with Wooster or Jeeves. Pepper? Who he? A hyper-bland nobody, that's who.
A title to leave on the shop's shelves.

Poor Stuff

From the title I expected this would be Jeeves and Wooster stories. There are 8 chapters, only 4 are J and W. The rest are completely unknown and not interesting characters. So not really as described

Disappointing
