In the bar-parlour of the Angler's Rest, Mr Mulliner tells his amazing tales, which hold the assembled company of Pints of Stout and Whiskies and Splash in the palm of his expressive hand.
Here you can discover what happened to The Man Who Gave Up Smoking, share a frisson when the butler delivers Something Squishy on a silver salver ('your serpent, Sir,' said the voice of Simmons) - and experience the dreadful Unpleasantness at Bludleigh Court. Throughout, the Mulliner clan remains resourcefully in command in the most outlandish situations.

Mr Mulliner Speaking (Audible Audio Edition) P G Wodehouse Jonathan Cecil Audible Studios Books Reviews
The first thing to know is that this is Wodehouse so if you have even read one of his books you already know about his beautiful use of language and the wonderful dialogue that he creates for all his characters. I suppose there are some that might sneer and say that if you have read one Wodehouse you have read them all. Well, yes, that's true in its way he focused on comedy, the upper class, and a host of young lovers getting in and out of the wackiest situations. But as you go deeper and deeper into his library you will learn what amazing inventiveness the man had. And that brings us to Mr. Mulliner Speaking...
This wonderful collection really soars for me. Many of the stories seemed like mini novels, so dense is the plot he created. As much as I enjoyed Meet Mr. Mulliner, which includes one of Wodehouse's major masterpieces Honeysuckle Cottage, this second collection goes even further to make you laugh. And laugh I did! I won't delve on any single story here or give away any plot details; I just think that this collection is a delight from beginning to end, and it deserves the widest audience it can get. Don't let this one slip by. Give it a chance and I think you will find you were happy you did.
Mr Mulliner narrates these fine stories of his numerous relatives and their travails in love. Each short story is a hilarious anecdote about his nephews, nieces, cousins, uncles, etc etc and despite the shear volume of stories they never cease to feel fresh and funny.
I am a huge fan of Wodehouse and though most people were introduced to Wodehouse via Jeeves and Bertie Wooster my first experience was Mr Mulliner. The Mulliner short stories truly are Wodehouse at his peak, and were written during the hey day of his popularity. I say this as someone who has read almost every story Wodehouse has written from the Picadilly Jim to Sunset at Blandings. The prose is excellent, the hyperbole magnificent. The stories told by Mr Mulliner concerning his various relatives are fast paced, witty, bright, and they never feel contrived or forced. In addition Wodehouse and his prose manage to evoke emotions, surprise, and amazement in a way not even the excellent Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie can replicate on screen. In fact despite the quality of the various screen adaptations of Wodehouse's work nothing can compare to Wodehouse's words.
This particular collection contains my all time favorite short story "The Unpleasentness at Bludleigh Court". This is a tale of two sensitive poetic souls and the unholy influence of of the sportsmen at Bludleigh court. Summarized in the poetic lines "When life is dark and all is black, how sweet it is to pot a yak". In this story Wodehouse manages to satirize and parody both the poets of his day and the aristocratic sportsmen and country gentry.
Even if you do not take the time to read every Mulliner short story you should definately jump in and read at least a few of the wonderful short stories as told by Mr Mulliner.
Book as described on website. No problems with quality or delivery. The Mulliner stories are not as famous as the Jeeves stories, but are actually better in many ways.
These stories are immortal comedy. They still raise a chuckle. Wodehouse's humour is endlessly inventive and always fresh. Highly recommended.
I am a fan. Wodehouse cheers when nothing else helps. This is a fine read from the Master. And, a nicely-made edition.
It starts strong and ends strong, but the middle stories are not so hot. This is not a book I will cherish as I do most of the novels.
Mr. Mulliner is a font of humor and great advice to the silly young male aristocrats of the early twentieth century. The humore is somehow never dated, and it will make the reader laugh out loud just as heartily now as it did when it was written. Mr. Mulliner is a character whose insights should never be missed!
