About this listen

 Monty Bodkin has returned to London from Hollywood, leaving Sandy Miller, his secretary there, heartbroken, because Monty loves English hockey international Gertrude Butterwick instead of her.

Holding down a job for a year was the condition laid down by Gertrude’s father before Monty and Gertrude could be married, a condition Monty has unexpectedly fulfilled by blackmailing Hollywood movie mogul Ivor Llewellyn. Back in England, he intends to claim his bride, but the path to true love never runs smooth, as Monty is about to find out.

Jonathan Cecil brings Woodhouse to life. It isn't the same when not read by him but this story is vintage Woodhouse and has all the right players in it. Superb listen.

Brilliant as always

Jonathan Cecil excellent as always! The Bodkin books are less well-known, but well worth listening too.

One of the best!

Wodehouse at his most lovable here, a cinematic mix of Hollywood panther women, cops and robbers and rogues of every discription, plus the hockey knocker de luxe! Sheer bliss.

A riotously joyful caper.

Our hapless hero continues to cause laughs as only a Wodehouse character can - just don't listen when driving - you get strange looks in traffic jams as you're wiping the tears of joy from your face

Final outing for. Monty as funny as ever

I am fast running out of Wodehouse I haven’t yet read - which is very sad. I will have to a start re-listening.

Brilliant

Hilarious as usual - all the typical Wodehouse characters and plots..... and Jonathan Cecil's narration just puts the top hat on it!! His portrayals of the various characters are just EXQUISITE , and bring the whole thing - including all the ridiculousness - to life more than if you were reading the book for yourself.

Thank you PG Wodehouse and Jonathan Cecil!!

No-one better than Jonathan Cecil to read PG Wodehouse. American accents excellent & he reads female & male parts equally convincingly.

Magnificent!
