About this listen

Would-be painter, George Finch, with lots of money and no talent, falls for lovely Molly Waddington who falls for him. Unfortunately, Molly’s snobbish stepmother, Mrs Sigsbee H. Waddington, New York society queen, has grander ideas for Molly, not least because George comes from Idaho, which is in every sense beyond the pale. Based on a 1917 musical comedy script by Wodehouse and his friend, Guy Bolton, The Small Bachelor tells the story of George’s struggle to win his girl, with the willing help of Hamilton Beamish, author of self-improvement pamphlets, and the unwitting assistance of a poetic policeman, Molly’s henpecked father, and New York’s premier female pickpocket.

Very well narrated story about the lives of colourful characters in fashionable New York. An intricate plot that twisted and turned from start to finish, but enjoyably complemented by Wodehouse's renowned humour.

An amusing but tangled romp ...

Amazing. So funny. No one reads them like Jonathan Cecil did. I wish there were more !

The best of Wodehouse - read by the best!

No-one better then Jonathan Cecil reading Wodehouse. His characterisation of the many voices is nothing short of miraculous.

Thoroughly enjoyable

A silly comic love story with some fresh and excellent Wodehousian lines, new characters, and enough zingy plot twists to keep it from sagging.

Great comic turns of phrase

Absolutely brilliant, filled with humour and the much loved prose that only Wodehouse could write. Loved it.

Wodehouse at his best!

What more can I say about these Wodehouse farces - just marvellous and light relief in these dark times.

Sooo witty

Classic Wodehouse storyline and characters marred by very poor narration. Cecil is ok on England based stories but his American accents are poor and vary without warning

Classic Wodehouse
