About this listen
A gloriously witty novel from Sebastian Faulks using P.G. Wodehouse’s much-loved characters, Jeeves and Wooster, fully authorised by the Wodehouse estate.
Bertie Wooster, recently returned from a very pleasurable soujourn in Cannes, finds himself at the stately home of Sir Henry Hackwood in Dorset. Bertie is more than familiar with the country house set-up: he is a veteran of the cocktail hour and, thanks to Jeeves, his gentleman's personal gentleman, is never less than immaculately dressed. On this occasion, however, it is Jeeves who is to be seen in the drawing room while Bertie finds himself below stairs - and he doesn't care for it at all.
Love, as so often, is at the root of the confusion. Bertie, you see, has met Georgiana on the Côte d'Azur. And though she is clever and he has a reputation for foolish engagements, it looks as though this could be the real thing. However, Georgiana is the ward of Sir Henry Hackwood and, in order to maintain his beloved Melbury Hall, the impoverished Sir Henry has struck a deal that would see Georgiana becoming Mrs Rupert Venables. Meanwhile, Peregrine ‘Woody' Beeching, one of Bertie's oldest chums, is desperate to regain the trust of his fiancée Amelia, Sir Henry's tennis-mad daughter. But why would this necessitate Bertie having to pass himself off as a servant when he has never so much as made a cup of tea?
Could it be that the ever-loyal, Spinoza-loving Jeeves has an ulterior motive? Evoking the sunlit days of a time gone by, Jeeves and the Wedding Bells is a delightfully witty story of mistaken identity, a midsummer village festival, a cricket match and love triumphant.

Absolutely pitch-perfect and beautifully narrated
Was unsure whether to purchase this but was completely blown away by the care and consideration given by Faulks to his all-too-brief carrying of the Jeeves & Wooster torch. Masterful writing and narration - thank you.

Excellent Jeeves homage
I have both read and listened to the book. It is a typical P G Wodehouse plot. Lots of the usual humour with some background information to set it in time which is interesting. Read very well narrated. Highly recommended if you are a fan of Wodehouse.

Well worth a listen
Julian Rhind-Tutt is an excellent narrator. I enjoyed his performances on the new series of Poirot novels by Sophie Hannah and he's just as engaging here.

Joyful
Like others, I wondered whether this would be a pleasure or a disaster. I have loved every minute of listening. The writing is every bit as good as PGW and the reading has been excellent causing me to laugh out loud many times. Well done to both writer and reader.

If you have ever liked PG - get this.
What did you like most about Jeeves and the Wedding Bells?
It made me laugh out loud and smile continuously throughout. I have read the Jeeves books about 10-15 times each. This is like finding an old friend you haven't seen for 20 years.
What did you like best about this story?
True to PG without being slavish; a resolution that even the most hard hearted would find touching.
What does Julian Rhind-Tutt bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Catches Bertie perfectly.
Any additional comments?
Just buy it. Complete no brainer.

Dashed brilliant, eh, Jeeves!
This book had me laughing out loud. What an extraordinarily clever book and perfect delivery. I am astonished that someone I normally associate with spy/thriller stories could produce such a faithful sequel to the original PG's work. I cannot praise too highly this delightful frivolity which tiptoes in the footsteps of the originals. I do hope there will be more to come; I can't wait. Thank you both for creating this lovely silliness, perfect reading - should I say acting - of a wonderful piece of writing. I live in Canada and was telling friends about Jeeves and Wooster today only to discover they had never heard of them. I immediately brought them up to date on the essential gist and I needed no shotgun to hand to force them to buy the entire oeuvre so they could dance through the complete history and finally arrive at this crowning glory. I did though, envy them their imminent joy on discovering PG for the first time. I doubt that, lacking the benefit of a British education however, Magnum Parva will elicit the giggle it gave me. The old Latin "O" level finally paid off, what?

Spiffing new Jeeves & Wooster yarn!
I’m rarely driven to write reviews, but I have to say I have enjoyed this immensely. I’ve always enjoyed J&W romps (esp the Fry & Laurie televised series) - but this is the best homage to Wodehouse I’ve read (or rather, listened to!) and that is in large part to the beautiful voice and character work of Julian Rhind-Tutt. I will be looking for a follow up immediately! If you haven’t done one already, get penning Mr F and keep Mr R-T’s vocals warm! B xx
