Review of "Carry On, Jeeves!" by P. G. Wodehouse, Frederick Davidson

Both of these wonderfully-produced audiobooks are unabridged and read by the quintessential voice for the Wodehouse tales, Mr. Frederick Davidson. If you haven't made the acquaintance of Bertie Wooster and his famous manservant, Jeeves, you are in for an incomparable treat. For those of you who are already Wodehouse fans this is just delicious icing on his great tales.

Bertie is a character the world was introduced to some 80 years ago. He is delightful and just as funny today as he was then. Bertie is a stereotypical British upper class member London's well-to-do. He and his friends are kept in the best of everything by the bequests of centuries of relatives. Jeeves enters his life and takes over with the élan of a perfect servant. Jeeves is much wiser than Bertie or his silly friends who are always calling on Bertie for help.

The love-struck old school chum Bingo Little is forever falling in love and calling on Bertie for assistance with Bingo's rich Uncle to accept his new-found attraction. The girl is always of questionable background or some such improper attribute. Bertie is always a willing helper, but it usually takes Jeeves to bail both of them out of a predicament. Jeeves is always careful to be most correct in caring for Bertie. He also seems to have a number of relatives in service he can count on as well an enormous amount of common sense. Best of all he makes Bertie look good.
