P. G. Wodehouse, Without the Option. Audio book short story, read by Nick Martin

Bertie trying hard to help his pal Sippy and as ever requires the services of his man Jeeves in so many ways.
In a moment of despondency for Bertie, 'We must think sir'.
'You think. I havn't the machinery'

[MsMak]

There is nothing like British humor, with a spirited reading and impeccably nuanced by Mr. Martin.

I can only listen to Nick Martin’s Wooster and Jeeves. It feels the most authentic for me.

The effects of Covid 19 and the actions we are taking to rid us of this virus, are having an almighty impact on the human world. It is nothing but very serious, however any Wodehouse enthusiast and hopefully those that are as yet unaware they are, will surely be smiling at some of his best lines and his capturing of scenes with such colour and humour which PGW gave us in this story written in 1925.

It is of course for everyone to enjoy but in so far as it is possible to dedicate a YouTube post, I would like to do just that. To all those people who are still hard at work getting on with doing all the stuff that for so long we have taken for granted and provide us with everything we have come to see as essential for living and comfort. Yes, everyone involved in healthcare, hospitals and the like but also those that ensure our electricity, water, oil and gas quietly keep on coming. For farmers and growers harvesting and preparing for the next crop. For all those in factories, offices, in supply chains, transport and retail that are carrying on, to make it possible for the rest of us to carry on. Thank you all.

Laughed out loud many times thanks to the wonderful combo of your skilled narration, Mr. Martin, and Mr. Wodehouse's humor. So funny 😂
Bravo🎉

In these times that try men’s (and women’s) souls, there is a beacon, , , , a ray of sunshine beaming through the grey heaviness of uncertainties that avail us all at this juncture of our existence. That ray of sunshine would be you sir. Thank you once again for another brilliant and thoroughly entertaining performance. I believe P G would be very pleased with your rendition of his work. Thank you Nick, be safe and be well.

I thought I would not like this narrator, but I do! Many of these chaps take on the project with a goal of finishing the story in a shorter time than any of the others. But this lovely man reads rather slowly, which is very nice, after all.

[Novacynthia]

🥳 Delightfully funny!! And a marvelous suprize as I thought I had already listened to all your Wodehouse recordings,
I laughed out loud several times and still smiling as I write this!! Thank You!!

I don’t believe there is a better reader of Wodehouse than Nick Martin. Thanks for your clarity and marvellous voices and perfect pacing. 👍

[katyvdb]

Very entertaining, and beautifully read. Thank you, that was a very enjoyable accompaniment to preparing supper!

[rosielee]

Thank you for these marvellous readings. It is a joy to listen to them and be transported to the world of Wodehouse.

I have never read a book in which every sentence...every word holds such jumor and imagination as P.G.'s works. And your voice and talent of bringing out the characters is amazing! Thank you for another wonderful read and I so hope that you will find the time to do many more. They manage to get me out of no matter how low a mood. From the moment I start listening to the very end I sit with a huge smile on my face and laugh heartily all the way :))

[dermotrichardsheils]

Just so, Nick. I hope we will remember and value them when this has all passed. (on a lighter note thank you very much for an hour away from the current situation.)

[eddienatt]

New to PGW Nick and very grateful to have found your renditions first. The gold standard. Thanks mate.
