'I love his writing,it's so clever and funny,so deft.'Alan Titchmarsh's 6 Best Books choice (Daily Express)A Blandings collectionThe ivied walls of Blandings Castle have seldom glowed as sunnily as in these wonderful stories - but there are snakes in the rolling parkland ready to nip Clarence,the absent-minded Ninth Earl of Emsworth,when he least expects it.For a start the Empress of Blandings,in the running for her first prize in the Fat Pigs Class at the Shropshire Agricultural Show,is off her food - and can only be coaxed back to the trough by a call in her own language. Then there is the feud with Head Gardener McAllister,aided by Clarence's sister,the terrifying Lady Constance,and the horrible prospect of the summer fête - twin problems solved by the arrival of a delightfully rebellious little girl from London. But first of all there is the vexed matter of the custody of the pumpkin.Skipping an ocean and a continent,Wodehouse also treats us to some unputdownable stories of excess from the monstrous Golden Age of Hollywood.
