The Prince and Betty is a novel by P. G. Wodehouse. It was originally published in Ainslee's Magazine in the United States in January 1912, and, in a slightly different form, as a serial in Strand Magazine in the United Kingdom between February and April 1912, before being published in book form, in the UK only, by Mills & Boon, London, on 1 May that year. A substantially different version, which incorporated the plot of Psmith, Journalist, was published in the US by W. J. Watt, New York on 14 February 1912, and is the only version now widely available. (This is the version presented here.) The story tells of how unscrupulous millionaire Benjamin Scobell decides to build a casino on the small Mediterranean island of Mervo, dragging in the unwitting heir to the throne to help. Little does he know that his stepdaughter Betty has history with the young man John Maude, and his schemes lead to a rift between the newly-reunited pair. (Introduction from Wikipedia) (6 hr 54 min)

This was an extremely entertaining story and very well read too! There was never a dull moment. Although it isn’t one of Wodehouse’s funniest tales, I thoroughly enjoyed the little splashes of humor that appeared throughout. Thank you to the wonderful narrator, Don W. Jenkins! I will definitely look for more stories narrated by him.

Delightful story, and well read! Mr. Jenkins did an admirable job with different voices, including some particularly enjoyable 20s NYC gangster accents.

Not bad for a recycled plot from Psmith, Journalist. Just good fun from Wodehouse
