About this book
P. G. Wodehouse's *The Clicking of Cuthbert* is a masterclass in witty storytelling that proves golf is merely the backdrop for genuinely hilarious human drama. Originally published in 1922, this collection of ten comedy stories sparkles with the clever wordplay and charming absurdity that made Wodehouse a literary legend.
Nine of the tales are narrated by the unforgettable Oldest Member, a sage figure permanently stationed on the terrace of an English golf club, eager to share pithy anecdotes from his vast experience. Like an Ancient Mariner with impeccable comedic timing, he regales listeners with stories of love, ambition, and the peculiar ways golf mirrors life's greatest challenges. Each tale features memorably eccentric characters caught in delightfully sentimental predicaments, their struggles rendered hilarious through Wodehouse's impeccable turns of phrase.
What makes this humor fiction enduring is its accessibility—you need not be a golfer to roar with laughter. Though peppered with period golfing terminology, the stories transcend their sporting setting, revealing universal truths about romance, rivalry, and human nature with infectious charm. Three stories were adapted into films, while others graced prestigious publications like *The Saturday Evening Post*.
Perfect for anyone seeking clever, warm-hearted entertainment, *The Clicking of Cuthbert* remains as delightful today as when first published. Ideal for Wodehouse devotees and newcomers alike, this audiobook promises the kind of sophisticated humor that lingers long after the final page.
