Listened to these funny little stories in the car. The narrator did a good job with the different voices, and I could tell that was challenging. The tone of the writing is very witty, although not really laugh-out-loud funny. I can't help thinking that they are too rooted in the slang and the culture of the time in which they were written to translate too well to modern times. At first, I thought the kids might enjoy listening, but decided against it because I just don't think would "get" the language.

Nevertheless, it was an enjoyable "listen."

First time reading Wodehous. Enjoyable but I get the feeling I should have started with a novel instead of short stories.

Yet another fun installment with Wooster and Jeeves. A little British upper crust humor featuring the bumbling gentleman and his sage gentleman's man. Quite enjoyed.
