Publisher Description

P.G. Wodehouse is hailed by many as one of, if not THE best of the British comic authors. With a devoted following and a sharp farcical wit, Wodehouse continues his famous Blandings series with lashings of all of the fantastic quirks and quips his fans love so dearly.

Galahad Threepwood is causing scandal again...this time by deciding to NOT publish his potentially humiliating high-society memoirs. His decision causes rifts in the ranks at castle Blandings, and all involved split into three camps: those who want the book suppressed, those who want it published, and those who, for some reason or another, have been sent to steal it.

A very British restrained chaos inevitably ensues, and a listener can expect a whole host of the usual confusion, blackmail, robbery, and of course, the odd bit of pig-kidnap. The Empress had better watch her back....

Veteran Wodehouse reader Martin Jarvis never fails to please, with marvellous characterisation and an obvious respect and passion for the author and his works.

"For a long time I have avoided Wodehouse. He is just too silly. But I had a long car trip, and this book was available in the library on tape. It was fun listening to this nonsense. Wodehouse creates some colorful characters, mixes them together, and the story probably writes itself."

    " PG Wodehouse is a genius! I loved this story. It was delightful and hilarious. I cannot wait to read the rest of the Blandings Castle series, then on to his other books. I highly recommend for those who enjoy English humor. "

    " Pretty much perfect Wodehouse, shimmery and brilliant. Lord Emsworth and Monty Bodkin in the same book, as well as Lady Constance Keeble and Lady Julia Fish, makes for utter adorableness. "

    " Now I know where Alexander McCall Smith gets his inspiration. Beautifully written, if completely ridiculous. I guess that's why it's a comic novel. My first Wodehouse but definitely not my last. "

    " I'll never understand how anyone could dislike, or even be indifferent about, Wodehouse. Stephen Fry's description of his books as 'sunlit perfection' just about covers it. I'd have killed myself if it wasn't for these books. "

    " This was a long hard slog, but in the end this book was humorous and enjoyable. The real difficulty with this book for me was the number of sub-plots occurring to eventually achieve the same goal. "

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.
