Summary

In the Angler's Rest, drinking hot scotch and lemon, sits one of Wodehouse's greatest raconteurs. Mr Mulliner, his vivid imagination lubricated by Miss Postlethwaite the barmaid, has fabulous stories to tell of the extraordinary behaviour of his far-flung family: in particular there's Wilfred, inventor of Raven Gypsy face-cream and Snow of the Mountain Lotion, who lights on the formula for Buck-U-Uppo, a tonic given to elephants to enable them to face tigers with the necessary nonchalance.

Its explosive effects on a shy young curate and then the higher clergy is gravely revealed. Then there's his cousin James, the detective-story writer, who has inherited a cottage more haunted than anything in his own imagination. And Isadore Zinzinheimer, head of the Bigger, Better & Brighter Motion Picture Company. Tall tales all - but among Wodehouse's best.

I far prefer the full books but what is not to enjoy in a Wodehouse tale.

Jonathan Cecilnis perfect for these roles

Wodehouse is the consumate story teller, Mr Mulliner his alter ego. Mr Cecil has lived the life.

Perfect.

Meet Mr. Mulliner

Several excellent stories read by an excellent reader. His command of several accents is amazing an very entertaining.
