  • Remember cousins Claude and Eustace? They are back again, "and more or less generally admitted to be the curse of the human race"
    Written in 1922 and set in the Cotswolds this story follows on directly from Comrade Bingo Has a Bad Goodwood.
    If you have a moment do look in on brother Richard's Cotswold Woollen Weavers. The details will pop up on screen during the story.

    Thank you all for the warm and appreciative comments below and I'm pleased you liked it. A good story and have you noticed, as ever its summer time in Bertie's land - which makes a welcome escape from our present dive into British mid winter! Cheers all

    That was a completely new PG Wodehouse story to me. Very entertaining, I listened with great enjoyment while making hot cross buns (there's nothing like an audiobook as an accompaniment to kneading dough). Thank you so much.

    Ah Nick, thank you so much. I’ve listened to your readings over and over. Hearing you read a new one is a marvellous early Christmas gift. I don’t think that you realize how much real pleasure that you give us all. I’m grateful to you for taking the time to do it. You’ve made me a very happy old battleaxe. Big hugs from Canada

    From a lifelong Wodehouse devotee who is highly critical of any poor rendition of PGW’s work and who knows most of the oeuvre inside out and backwards, I think these readings are extremely well done. Thank you.

    Wodehouse was a saintly man who applied anaesthesia to our perception of reality by removing us from it. Such is the horror of this existence we call life.

    O my word the last bit had me rolling! 😂 Love it! Finn just wanted to be heard & I loved it!😍 You are sooo good that I get lost & forget for a few seconds that it's just you. The entire thing was excellent but the Bloopers/rehearsal (whatever ya want to call it) very much needed! TYSM for leaving it in to share with us! You have been missed! Ty for taking the time! Give Finney(?) a scratch behind the ears from me 😘😊 O what the heck give yourself one too Ha-ha😁

    London temperatures may get to 75 degrees in summer. Raving on about how "beastly hot" that is is positively hilarious. Those dainty little people people would surely expire over the course of a Texas summer. How any of them ever endured India or Nairobi is a mystery.
