Jeeves Takes Charge & Extricating Young Gussie
Այս աուդիոգրքի մասին
Two great stories featuring the inimitable Jeeves!
In “Jeeves Takes Charge,” the ubiquitous butler comes to the rescue of his new master, Bertie Wooster, from a fate worse than death, so they say. And in the second tale, “Extricating Young Gussie,” poor Bertie is summarily dispatched to New York by an overbearing aunt to extract his cousin from an amorous affair with a vaudeville artist. How absolutely dreadful!

Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (1881–1975) was an English humorist who wrote novels, short stories, plays, poems, song lyrics, and numerous pieces of journalism. He was highly popular throughout a career that lasted more than seventy years, and his many writings continue to be widely read. He is best known for his novels and short stories of Bertie Wooster and his manservant Jeeves and for his settings of English upper-class society of the pre– and post–World War I era. He lived in several countries before settling in the United States after World War II. During the 1920s, he collaborated with Broadway legends like Cole Porter and George Gershwin on musicals and, in the 1930s, expanded his repertoire by writing for motion pictures. He was honored with a knighthood in 1975.
