Summary
When Maud Marsh flings herself into George Bevan's cab in Piccadilly, he starts believing in damsels in distress. George traces his mysterious traveling companion to Belpher Castle, home of Lord Marshmoreton, where things become severely muddled. Maud's aunt, Lady Caroline Byng, wants Maud to marry Reggie, her stepson. Maud, meanwhile, is known to be in love with an unknown American she met in Wales. So when George turns up speaking American, a nasty case of mistaken identity breaks out. In fact, the scene is set for the perfect Wodehouse comedy of errors.

Charming & funny
Wodehouse writes so well about characters that are nonsense and yet so entertaining that I listen to book after book.

A very funny and cozy book
This was my first meeting with the Wodehouse world, and I loved it! The story itself with all its twists and turns was humorous and gripping, and - as so many others here have pointed out - Jonathan Cecil's narration itself is a work of art - just so funny. I like especially how he becomes the too-smart-for-his-age Albert and the self-important and scheming butler Keggs. This audiobook was included for free in my membership and I am really thankful for that. I have now bought my next title by Wodehouse and with Cecil and am ready to be entertained. :)

Timeless wit
A cleverly woven plot, introducing delectable and fully formed characters in turn. Wonderfully narrated to draw out the intelligent and quick wit and bring the whole piece alive.
