I had only read Jeeves & Wooster books until this one, which I listened to on YouTube (read by William Lindholm). It is delightful! I love Sally, who does not seem old-fashioned at all, and all the characters seem quite real to me. Lots of fun! (

Wonderful, cheerful, Wodehouse writes a lovely, clever, female character. And everything resolves so beautifully. An absolute pleasure. (

Kara Shallenberg does a good job narrating this (free) Librivox recording of this Wodehouse novel.

As for the story itself, it was good fun but not as hilarious as some of the Jeeves or Blandings stories. (

3½ stars for the story. I found the Librivox audiobook enhanced my enjoyment. (
