Books on cassette

I was talking to a woman at the library today and we got to chatting about the Wodehouse stories. She said years ago the library had the Jeeves stories on cassettes. Further, she said Hugh Laurie was the reader.

My google skills must have failed me because I can find no evidence of her claim. Can anyone help? If those cassettes exist I'd love to get hold of them.

Holy shit that would be so cool.

I wonder if she was getting confused with the other actor who did a good version of Bertie (not as good as Hugh, of course!), namely Ian Carmichael? Because he did voice at least one audiobook of Jeeves and Wooster.

Short PG Wodehouse story in this- might be narrated by Hugh.

Alos. on you tube someone put up the audio short stories. Not read by Hugh though.

I have the audio books, but they are not read by Hugh. I believe the narrator played Bertie in the radio dramas, and he's pretty good. I can send them to you if you'd like, let me know.

I'm gonna say they didn't exist, since I would have owned the holy living bejesus out of them.
