About this listen

A gentleman, a portrait, and a situation that grows steadily less gentlemanly.

In this sparkling episode from the incomparable world of P. G. Wodehouse, even the most innocent brush with art may lead to complications of the gravest kind. When Bertram Wooster finds himself immortalised on canvas—and entangled with an artist of distinctly alarming charm—events begin to unfold with the quiet inevitability of a well-aimed custard pie.

There are rival suitors (some horizontal), formidable relatives (all vertical), and a butler whose calm intelligence suggests that destiny itself might be taking dictation.

Misunderstandings multiply, reputations wobble, and the simple matter of keeping one's dignity intact becomes a campaign of considerable difficulty.

Polished to perfection and delivered with irresistible wit, The Spot of Art is Wodehouse at his most mischievous—where love is hazardous, logic is optional, and salvation, if it comes at all, is likely to arrive impeccably dressed.

A perfect listening experience for admirers of classic British humour, elegant absurdity, and the eternal question: can a gentleman survive his own portrait?
