Summary

Mike

A Public School Story

By P. G. Wodehouse

Narrated by Graham Scott

Mike is among Wodehouse's earliest adult novels, and reportedly remained the author's personal favorite throughout his long career. The story follows the adventures of cricketing prodigy Mike Jackson, first at the prestigious Wrykyn public school, where he strives to achieve the unprecedented feat of a place in the First Eleven in his freshman year, and later (when to his father's annoyance Mike's academic performance at Wrykyn fall rather short of his sporting achievements) at Sedleigh, a smaller school with little sporting reputation, where he first encounters the immaculate and unflappable Psmith...

Poor narrator

As a fan of P G Wodehouse, I was pleased to find this early work on Audible. But, I must say that Graham Scott is an abysmal narrator of Wodehouse. He manages to destroy any element of humour that exists in the language the author uses. His voice is weak and squeaky too. He really is not suited to the task. Mike at Wrykin is interesting because it is an early novel and leads into the Psmith novels. As for Mike and Psmith; my recommendation is find a different narrator!
