From Library Journal Wodehouse (A Gentleman of Leisure, Audio Reviews, LJ 1/95) is one of the best and most accessible humorists for audio adaptation and this version does not disappoint. Reader Frederick Davidson has made superciliousness into an art form and lays it on thick throughout. His command of class, age, and gender variations is without peer. This work will be familiar to many listeners as it has been adapted for television and shown on PBS's Masterpiece Theatre. Unfortunately, there are duplication problems and side two of tape three sounds as if it had been recorded backwards and is completely incomprehensible. This flaw may have been corrected by the time you read this, but it may be worth the trouble to check.

Jeeves & Bertie #8 By phantomfan Previous: Joy in the Morning (Jeeves in the Morning)This is the classic volume in which Bertie finds himself at a place called Deverill Hall pretending to be Gussie Fink-Nottle, and Gussie Fink-Nottle shows up pretending to be Bertie. Bertie must do all he can to keep the Fink-Nottle/Bassett romance intact (for we know the fate that awaits Bertram otherwise), and this, complete with two other rocky romances, keeps Bertie on his toes throughout this hilarious book. Jeeves is absent for much of this book, and thus it is short on the interaction between the two that makes the books so charming, but he shows up to save the day when the time is right. Notable in this story is the oppressed Esmond Haddock who cowers under his five aunts, the relationship between Bertie's old chum Catsmeat and a parlormaid named Queenie which nearly ends in very foreseeable disaster, and the presence of Jeeves's Uncle Charlie.I must add that this is the book I read on the plane when I had to fly home for a sudden funeral, and in the midst of the somberness of the occasion, this book was a tangible ray of sunlight. Although I will probably always remember it within that rather unfortunate context, perhaps that is not a bad thing. It worked its magic, and kept me laughing.Next: Bertie Wooser Sees it Through (Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit)
22 of 22 people found the following review helpful. One of the Best and Funniest Books Ever Written By Mostly Mozart Evelyn Waugh, a tight man with a compliment for his fellow authors, referred to P.G. Wodehouse as the Master, and nowhere are the reasons more apparent than in The Mating Season.There is never a dull moment as Bertie Wooster impersonates Gussie Fink-Nottle, Claude Cattermole ("Catsmeat") Pirbright impersonates the non-existent Meadowes, to appear at Deverill Hall as Gussie's personal gentleman (Bertie is impersonating Gussie at the time), Gussie impersonates Bertie, with Jeeves in tow, no fewer than four pairs of sundered hearts are re-united, as Bertie once again escapes the matrimonial trap, and Esmond Haddock, the landed proprietor of Deverill Hall, defies his five aunts to marry Claude's sister, the celebrated Hollywood actress Corky. With all this action and imposture, however, Wodehouse's writing is so skillful that the reader, with no effort, keeps the characters and action straight. There is, of course, time for Wodehouse's unexcelled magic with the English language. To put it more briefly, this novel provides one whale of a good time.Wodehouse wrote dozens of hilarious, wonderfully-written, and intricately-plotted novels. It is high praise indeed to note that The Mating Season would almost certainly rank in the top five in any poll of Wodehouse fans.

Laughter the Best Medicine By John Murphy If laughter is indeed the best medicine, then the collected works of Pelham Grenville Wodehouse should be prescribed by doctors as a matter of course. Like the proverbial pair of slippers or a warm cup of tea on a gray, rainy afternoon, the Jeeves & Wooster series is balm to any soul. One opens a Wodehouse like a bottle of something vintage: ready to be soothed and satiated. A snivelly critic once accused Wodehouse of publishing a book with all the "Wodehouse types" given new names. Wodehouse responded:"A certain critic-for such men, I regret to say, do exist-made the nasty remark about my last novel [Heavy Weather] that it contained `all the old Wodehouse characters under different names'. He has probably by now been eaten by bears, like the children who made mock of the prophet Elisha; but if he still survives he will not be able to make a similar charge against Summer Lightning. With my superior intelligence, I have outgeneralled the man this time by putting in all the old Wodehouse characters under the same names. Pretty silly it will make him feel, I rather fancy."How can you resist Wodehouse? So far as I'm concerned, he smote that critic's ruin on the mountainside. We don't read Wodehouse for his plots, though he does have a deft talent for keeping a story zipping along. Wodehouse is less concerned with what the story is about than with how he'll be about it. The Mating Season happens to find that classic duo, Wooster and Jeeves--the airheaded English aristocrat and his genius "gentleman's gentleman," respectively--holed up for a spell in the foreboding Deverill Hall, seat of five formidable aunts. Wooster confesses:"On the cue `five aunts' I had given at the knees a trifle, for the thought of being confronted with such a solid gaggle of five aunts, even if those of another, was an unnerving one. Reminding myself that in this life it is not the aunts that matter but the courage which one brings to them, I pulled myself together."It may be difficult to write a gut-wrenchingly tragic book, but I dare say it's even more difficult to write a gut-bustingly funny one. No doubt that is why (to the great consternation of his contemporaries) Hillaire Belloc proclaimed Wodehouse the finest prose stylist of his epoch. Writers like Dostoevsky mirror the human heart. Writers like Wodehouse make the human heart rejoice. They are different but equal geniuses.
