I just recently listened to this read by Jonathan Cecil - perfect!

B R Wombat

Bliss!

Dark Puss

... The Cat Which Kept Popping Up ...

Right on cue here I am! Just off for my evening absinthe.

Wodehouse is the only author who has made me laugh out loud while reading. Others make me smile, but Wodehouse makes me laugh.

Cornflower

Alexander McCall Smith can also make me laugh out loud, but Wodehouse is the master!

Simon T

This is a fun book - and you have the same edition as me! My only quibble was how obvious it is that Wodehouse is a dog man rather than a cat man - but I suspect that won't bother you!

efi

oh great.i am going to order it soon.is it available?

Cornflower

Indeed! I think it was Pekinese that Wodehouse was particularly keen on.

Cornflower

It seems to be available, Efi. Ours is a few years old, but there is a newer edition.

B R Wombat

Just goes to show I'm right about kittens!

Dark Puss

Eek! Probably my least favourite breed of dog!

Off to wash my fur ...

Ros

Nobody writes aunts like Wodehouse.

Tui

I have been trying to get this for ages. There is nothing like a visit with Jeeves & Co. The best tonic going!
