Sobre este áudio
Jeeves and Wooster return in a new espionage caper full of japes, high jinks, and jiggery-pokery in a series that is “impossible to read without grinning idiotically” (Evening Standard).
The Drones club’s in peril. Gussie’s in love. Spode’s on the war path. Oh, and His Majesty’s Government needs a favor....
I say! It’s a good thing Bertie’s back, what?
In his eagerly anticipated sequel to Jeeves and the King of Clubs, Ben Schott leads Jeeves and Wooster on another elegantly uproarious escapade.
From the mean streets of Mayfair to the scheming spires of Cambridge, we encounter a joyous cast of characters: chiseling painters and criminal bookies, eccentric philosophers and dodgy clairvoyants, appalling poets and pocket dictators, vexatious aunts and their vicious hounds.
But that’s not all:
Who is Iceberg, and why is he covered in chalk?
Why is Jeeves reading Winnie-the-Pooh?
What is seven across and 85 down?
How do you play Russian Roulette at The Savoy?
These questions, and more, are answered in Jeeves and the Leap of Faith - an homage to P.G. Wodehouse, authorized by his estate, and essential listening for fans of The Master.
Tinkety-tonk!

"The whirligigging plot almost spins out of control here, but don't worry: Jeeves takes care of that just fine. Great fun—another round, please!"—Booklist
"Wodehouse’s droll byplay between master and servant is emulated well… [Schott] succeeds at keeping his many plates spinning. This’ll be a hoot for Wodehouse fans."—Publishers Weekly
"This homage to P.G. Wodehouse is so good that a blind reading (i.e. a genuine ‘Plum’ versus Schott’s pastiche) would be a tricky call. Everything is in its place...the sheer luxury, wealth and self-assurance of Bertie’s world is brilliantly evoked with all its enviable light-heartedness intact. A masterpiece in every sense." —Daily Mail
