THE INIMITABLE JEEVES Volume 1

Martin Jarvis is enchanting in his portrayal of a full cast of characters in this set of stories featuring protagonist Bertie Wooster, a wealthy, somewhat dim, but well-intentioned young man, and Wooster's butler, Jeeves, who saves the day time and time again when Wooster's ill-advised plans go awry. Jarvis narrates Wooster's character with the right measure of panache and gives Jeeves a delightfully superior air. As Wooster's love-prone friend Bingo Little, Jarvis strikes a tone that sounds somewhat like a weakling, which seems an odd choice, but he still manages to make it work. A versatile narrator, Jarvis brings THE INIMITABLE JEEVES to life with ease. S.E.G. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2009]
