The Adventures of Sally by P. G. Wodehouse


The Adventures of Sally by P. G. Wodehouse
204 pages, Humor.
I listened to this after downloading it from our Overdrive collection. It is not the funniest Wodehouse, but it has its moments. And relatively unfunny Wodehouse is still funnier than most everything else ever written. Sally inherits some money from a recently deceased crazy mean uncle. she uses her share of the inheritance on world travel. She is dumped by her conniving social climbing playwright of a fiance, but has already met a sincere dog-loving bumbler on her travels. He is destined to bumble his way into her heart.


Downloadable audio.

Three by Wodehouse




Eggs, Beans, and Crumpets 224 pages
A Damsel in Distress 242 pages
The Girl on the Boat 212 pages
We have all three of these works by the great P. G. Wodehouse in our downloadable audio collection. The Girl on the Boat (1921)and A Damsel in Distress (1919)are novels, and Eggs, Beans, and Crumpets (1940) is a collection of Wodehouse's Drones Club stories. None of them feature Jeeves and Wooster, but all of them are hilarious and sparkle with P.G.'s inimitable style. Frederick Davidson narrates one and Jonathan Cecil does the other two and they do a very good job. Great fun.
