Big Money
P. G. Wodehouse · 2012
🎙 Narrated by Jonathan Cecil (2012 AudioGO/Audible edition)
78/100
👍 Worth It
Wodehouse doing what Wodehouse does best — a farcical tangle of broken engagements, mistaken identity, and a worthless-turned-priceless mine, all wrapped in genuinely witty prose. It's a period piece so the pacing's old-fashioned, but it's wholesome and clean, and Jonathan Cecil's narration is worth the listen — he's one of the great Wodehouse voices for a reason.
