Synopsis

In Mr Mulliner, P.G Wodehouse (1881 -1975) has created a conduit for all manner of tall tales. The amiable gentleman happily regales the drinkers in the Angler’s Rest Pub with fascinating stories, usually about his own relatives, which range from the somewhat dubious, to the downright unbelievable. Welcome to this eccentric world inhabited by Curates and Bishops high on health tonic, and a lovesick chap who utilises beauty remedies to win his love. A world where a deceased author’s cottage appears to exert a sentimental influence on all who enter, and where an earthquake can lead to marriage. Wodehouse’s most famous creations the implacable “Jeeves” and the archetypal English toff “Bertie Wooster” are only the tip of the author’s considerable output. A master of humorous prose, he published over ninety books, forty plays and two hundred short stories.

Goodreads review by Fiona on April 21, 2017

Yet another charming expedition into the mind of PG Wodehouse, this time concentrating on Mr Mulliner. But not just one Mr Mulliner! Each story contains a different Mr Mulliner ( a different relation to the Mr Mulliner who is telling the story ) and his exploits. It's highly amusing, wonderfully wri......more

Goodreads review by Kuszma on September 23, 2019

Bár az elején hiányzott nekem belőle Bertie és Jeeves, de aztán elkezdtem élvezni Mr. Mullinert is. Igaz, nem tudtam szabadulni a gondolattól, hogy ha egy rejtőjenői csehóban kezdené el nyomatni hajmeresztő meséit, akkor biztos hamar fejbecsűrnék egy bóléstállal. Amúgy meg hadd dicsérjem meg magamat......more

Goodreads review by Julie on October 28, 2018

Tall tales told in taverns are a favorite genre for me and when P.G. Wodehouse turns his hand to it, especially when read by Jonathan Cecil, how can I resist? These are wonderful little stories, each of which contain the essence of plot points used in Wodehouse's later novels. In a way these early sh......more
