When the bombastic Mr. Bickersdyke is initially introduced to Psmith, he is overwhelmingly underwhelmed. He declares that if he ever got Psmith under his thumb at the New Asiatic Bank, which he manages, Bickersdyke would knock the nonsense out of him in no time. And so it naturally follows that when Psmith and his friend Mike Jackson come to join the questionable forces of the bank, there is plenty of nonsense knocked about. ¶ Chock full of colorful characters and whimsical situations, Mike and Psmith take on the city with vigorous vim.

      Much of the humor of Wodehouse's novel depends on the incongruity of placing monocle and lavender glove-wearing Psmith in the mundane world of a bank. Though Davidson does a good job in creating a properly persnickety voice for Psmith, Davidson may retain too much of this same fussiness in the narration, which requires a straightforward rendering to preserve the contrast of Psmith out of his element. Otherwise, Davidson distinguishes the characters quite well, especially Bickersdyke, the all-business bank manager. (A trivia note for Wodehouse fans: though the later novel, LEAVE IT TO PSMITH, mentions that the "p" is silent, a glance at the text of this earlier book shows that Wodehouse seems to have initially had a different idea about the pronunciation: The protagonist and the narrator refer to him as "Psmith"; most other characters call him "Smith." Davidson's reading correctly follows the text to a "p.") G.H. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
