    these are the BEST interpretations of these stories. It is so hard to capture the lightness of Bertie, - the silliness combined with the erudite literary references, imperfectly imbibed, he has picked up from Jeeves and his upper class education, to which he has paid little attention. Beautifully done

    Anyone who has Wodehouse stories interpreted by you to listen to can never despair, even in difficult times. How this guy could write! Every sentence a gem. And your performance is so perfect and so superbly enjoyable that I can listen to each story for multiple times. Are you a professional actor or just incredibly talented or both? Thank you so much for this invaluable gift to all Wodehouse fans out there ! !

    I love the contrast between Bertie and Jeeves' voices. So well done! And "Dada doesn't woo love mummy no more" was hilarious.

    Your voice is so similar to Stephen Fry, it took a long time for me to realize that this is not Stephen Fry. I eventually had to look to see what the owner of the voice looked like. Fantastic personification of Wooster, best I have ever heard. Altogether, all voices are successfully rendered - quite a feat! Love the outrage you have achieved in Bertie's voice!

    As a Kiwi Colonial I remember being taught the difference between "bought" and "brought". It seems this common-usage error produces no problem for PGW: or could it be a misreading?
    Of course I am nit-picking as I find these stories are a delight and full of wistful laughter for a Britain long-gone.

    • @Trickynickymarts

    It would be a 12yr sentence for the parents of Tootles, for child endangerment and child neglect. What the story read, to me in 2021, would now lead to 5 or 6 felony charges in the state of Illinois.
    . . . And then, after the state charges are done 👮
    They'll turn dcfs on the parents. Yep 🍕
    Praise God and pass the pizza. 😀
