Perfection read by perfection
Fun comedy relationship tangles written with delicious language, and performed by a stellar actor who is one of the most passionate fans of Wodehouse out there. Blandings will become your second home in no time. Target audience; all types of humans of all ages.

Perfect
Perfect delivery by Stephen Fry of some of the inimitable Wodehouses Blandings saga...and some other hilarious short stories. Stephen perfectly captures the characters and makes this a collection I have listened to over and over!

Not to be missed!
Another very enjoyable listening experience. Mr Fry uses just the right tone and pace for P G Wodehouse’s wonderfully funny work. One is left hoping, knowing the breadth of work still available of Mr Wodehouse’s stories, that a third volume is in the offing.

Great Narrator, moderately funny stories
Although I could listen to S Fry reading a directory, these are the second class of Wodehouse stories. Volume 1 much funnier.

Happy as a pig in mud
These stories from Wodehouse are so very good and read to perfection by Stephen Fry. So relaxing, engaging and funny. A different style to the Jeeves collection, many more characters to keep track of, but after two or three times through you'll know them all and enjoy every minute!

whimsical, lovely, and hilarious
I'd only previously read the Jeeves series by Wodehouse so I was interested to see what this collection would be like and I am so glad I tried it out. I fell in love with Blandings and all the characters that Wodehouse brings to life. Of course as it's read by the incredible Stephen Fry you can't go wrong

Superbly read. Irritating, dated story.
Stephen Fry's voice is liquid honey. The Blandings is, however, as painful as swallowing nails. A pity, because the Jeeves and Wooster stories in volume 1 are timeless.
