The Girl on the Boat
by P.G. Wodehouse (George H. Doran, 1922)
audiobook read by Frederick Davidson (Blackstone, 1998)
Consummate audiobook reading. Incongruous cover. Though P.G. muffs the ending a bit—rather than prove himself through breaking up a dog fight, Sam Marlowe prevails upon Billie Bennett as a cowardly Galahad—the buildup is vintage Wodehouse, ingeniously woven and drolly expressed.
