Publisher Description
Filled with faces old and new, this collection of stories from the master of humor promises pure entertainment for audiobook lovers everywhere.
P. G. Wodehouse's famed collection of ten stories marks the reappearance of many old friends—who find themselves in delightfully absurd situations. In "How's That, Umpire?" a mutual hatred of cricket reunites two lovers. In "Birth of a Salesman," Lord Emsworth has strayed from Blandings Castle to become an encyclopedia salesman for a day. "Success Story" tells of Ukridge's finest swindle yet—after which he finally emerges triumphant in the struggle against his fearsome aunt Julia. Other stories include "The Shadow Passes," "Bramley Is So Bracing," "Up from the Depths," "Feet of Clay," "Excelsior," "Rodney Has a Relapse," and "Tangled Hearts."

“Wodehouse’s idyllic world can never stale. He will continue to release future generations from captivity that may be more irksome than our own. He has made a world for us to live in and delight in.”
— Evelyn Waugh, New York Times bestselling author
