Review of "Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit" by P. G. Wodehouse, Jonathan Cecil

Huzzah! More Wodehouse to giggle along with during the morning commute. Jonathan Cecil is the reader, and he brings an extensive acting background to his fine reading of this amusing tale of the British upper-class twit Bertie Wooster and his ingenious gentleman's gentleman, Jeeves. Wodehouse is always a delight to read and especially great to listen to in your own car or home space.

Bertie has been selected to prevail at the annual dart tournament at the Drone's Club, the hangout for all of his upper-class chums. He is in top shape to win, but at the same time his Aunt Dahlia is in a bind about a strand of paste pearls that have gone astray. Good old Jeeves suggests that they steal the pearls from Bertie's nemesis, a local judge, but in the process Bertie stumbles into the wrong bedroom and is unable to explain himself. The upshot here is that Bertie is empty-handed and has gotten engaged again to Madeline Basset, a high-spirited girl who is always getting Bertie into trouble. This all is quite usual for Bertie. Also as is usual, Jeeves rescues Bertie at the altar. As for the tournament, well... listen to this delightful tape and find out.
