Publisher Description

Here are a dozen stories to delight all Wodehouse addicts....

A crooning tenor is attempting to captivate the affections of the Rev. Rupert Bingham's fiancée; Lord Emsworth is striving to remove a pumpkin-shaped blot on the family escutcheon; the Hon. Freddie Threepwood is making a last-ditch attempt to convert Lady Alcester to the beneficial quality of Donaldson's Dog-Joy; and in the bar-parlor of the Anglers' Rest, Mr. Mulliner fascinates everyone with the secret history of old Hollywood.

"Superlative collection of short stories although only six of the twelve are about Blandings castle, but they are amongst Wodehouse's best and include "The Custody of the Pumpkin" "Lord Emsworth and the Girl Friend" and best of all the immortal "Pig-Hoo-o-o-o-ey." For the rest of the books we get "Mr Potter takes a rest cure" the only story to star Bobbie Wickham solo and five Mr. Mulliner stories all set in Hollywood. The Mulliner's are particularly interesting as they were obviously all inspired by Wodehouse's otherwise unproductive stay in Hollywood as a scriptwriter."

    " Collection of short stories that includes six set at Blandings Castle (all of which were hilarious), one featuring Bobbie Wickham, and five about the Mulliners of Hollywood (funny enough but a bit too repetitive). "

    " I adore Wodehouse. How does he come up with these things? Most of these short stories are about the group at Blandings Castle but some are about life in Hollywood. Just typical Wodehouse. "

    " I was pleased to discover Wodehouse excels at more than just writing about Jeeves and Wooster. Surprised, though, that the whole book wasn't about Blandings Castle, but I slowly warmed to the idea and began to enjoy the second part also. "

    " I really loved the first five stories in this book that dealt with the characters from Blandings Castle. The last half of the book was not as good. Wodehouse includes several stories dealing with Hollywood at the end of this volume, and I felt like they were a little flat. "

    " This one's not too great. Though the name of the book is Blandings Castle but there only a few initial short stories on Blandgings and after that the book moves away to a different line of stories on Mr. Mulliner in Hollywood. "

    " This was my first Wodehouse. A fun read, but I regret choosing a story collection for my first PGW experience because it felt like I never had enough time to get to know the characters. "

    " I *love* P.G. Wodehouse's stories. They're like watching a British comedy show, in book form. They're clean and very funny. Light reading, but still with an intellectual flavor to it, and very entertaining. Most of his stories poke subtle fun at the upper crust in 1920s England. "

About P. G. Wodehouse

Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (1881–1975) was an English humorist who wrote novels, short stories, plays, poems, song lyrics, and numerous pieces of journalism. He was highly popular throughout a career that lasted more than seventy years, and his many writings continue to be widely read. He is best known for his novels and short stories of Bertie Wooster and his manservant Jeeves and for his settings of English upper-class society of the pre– and post–World War I era. He lived in several countries before settling in the United States after World War II. During the 1920s, he collaborated with Broadway legends like Cole Porter and George Gershwin on musicals and, in the 1930s, expanded his repertoire by writing for motion pictures. He was honored with a knighthood in 1975.
