Critic Reviews

“Cecil delivers what seems to be a full cast performance all by himself, as he shifts pace, tone, even breath quality, to bring dozens of characters to life. This recording is a rare treat.”

(AudioFile)

“A major delight of Wodehouse’s timeless comedy is his enduring optimism. Jonathan Cecil has an amazing range of vocal dexterity, making both the squeakiest of pipsqueaks and the gruffest of old blusterers equally convincing. Highly recommended.”

(Library Journal)

“Wodehouse’s novels are the very definition of British humor—bubblingly witty and dryly loony.”
