P.G. Wodehouse and Martin Jarvis are a winning audio duo demonstrating humorous fiction at its very best, and this is the original 'upstairs, downstairs' novel.
When a valuable scarab belonging to an American millionaire is absent-mindedly stolen by Lord Emsworth, young writers Ashe Marson and Joan Valentine are tasked with infiltrating Blandings Castle to retrieve it. Meanwhile, vacuous Freddie Threepwood worries that some compromising letters may scupper his engagement to the millionaire's daughter. Wodehouse's comic masterpiece combines above and below stairs pretensions with all the fun of a romantic thriller.
Martin Jarvis is an award-winning British actor and the 'Olivier of audiobooks'.
