Corky’s flat is invaded by an unknown woman whose stripling in tow is bent on seeing the sights of London – the murderey ones. P.G. Wodehouse, today on The Classic Tales Podcast.

Welcome to The Classic Tales Podcast. Thank you for listening.

For a limited time, you can purchase a license for lifetime access to the entire Classic Tales library by going to http://classictalesaudiobooks.com. Only 10 licenses remain available. Once they’re gone, they’re gone. We don’t know when we will make this offer again, if ever. This grants immediate access to all the titles now in the library, and all the Classic Tales titles I will ever record in the future. No coupon codes needed.

Do you want to binge the Lupin series? You’re in luck. How about the Barsoom series? Sherlock Holmes? Hercule Poirot? Dickens? Shakespeare? All titles are available to brighten your commutes and road trips, or help you relax at bedtime.

It's a rare opportunity to gain access to award-winning classic audiobooks anytime, anywhere, forever.

Go to http://classictalesaudiobooks.com and purchase your lifetime access license today. Thank you so much.

We’re going to continue with the adventures of Ukridge. Wodehouse uses this character elsewhere, but I think that this collection of stories from Corky’s point of view, and seeing Ukridge as the well-meaning antagonist is quite effective.

The first few stories in this series are available in the podcast feed. You can hear them if you scroll back to episodes 748, to 751, back in September of 2021.

And now, The Return of Battling Billson, by P.G. Wodehouse.
