Description
Exclusive audio production to tie-in with Universal's spring 2005 release of Piccadilly Jim starring Brenda Blethyn, Hugh Bonneville, Sam Rockwell and Francis O'Connor (screenplay by Julian Fellowes) A great opportunity to discover and enjoy Wodehouse's marvellous comic writing Jim Crocker, a young American who lives in London with his stepmother, writes an arts column under the pseudonym Piccadilly Jim and one day, is more than unusually nasty about a poem by a young writer. Shortly after, he falls in love with a gorgeous young thing called Ann, only to discover she is the aforementioned poet. Classic and absurd Wodehouse action ensues as Jim attempts to rescue the situation by changing his identity...Only he has met his match in Ann who becomes involved in her own means of deception! Wonderfully funny stuff that maintains a swift pace, thanks to the unique combination of Martin Jarvis reading P.G. Wodehouse
Author Biography
Pelham Grenville Wodehouse was born in 1881 and educated at Dulwich College. He wrote prolifically throughout his life almost until his death in 1975.
Reviews* The farce is ingenious; Martin Jarvis brings the book to life...the ideal Christmas gift for Wodehousians. The Observer * An idyllic world of sublime comedy. No better place to escape. The Sunday Times * Wodehouse brightens up the dullest day and lightens the heaviest heart. audiobooksreview.co.uk
