About this listen
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...
One of them concerns Wilfred, 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.

Meet Your Next Great Listen
Back in the days when popular magazines ran fiction—either serialized novels or free-standing short stories—it was possible for people like P. G. Wodehouse to make a living at it. And it was possible to get more out of a magazine than chocolate layer cake recipes and weight loss secrets.
So, picture if you will, strolling up to your local news stand and picking up any of the stories in this volume. They’re all good, especially the last one, “Honeysuckle Cottage”. I would go so far as to advocate the purchase of the entire book for the sake of that tale alone. Wodehouse is at his incomparable best when spoofing the conventions of the sentimental fiction of his day, and “Honeysuckle Cottage” is really a tour de force in that line.
And to round things out, Jonathan Cecil “gets” it; he exploits every nuance and heightens every absurdity.

Not bad at all
Any additional comments?
Chapter 8 is the cradle of all American Action movies, in which they select the best of the best for the mission, normally a retired so and so, in this case the hero is Clarence Mulliner.
i strongly recommend reading this book, and i strongly recommend the narrator Jonathan Cecil
