Publisher Description

Contained here are nine glorious episodes from the idyllic world of Wodehouse. There’s a crime wave which broke out towards the middle of a fine summer afternoon and was to rock Blandings Castle to its foundations, Ukridge appears on Corky’s doorstep at three in the morning, wearing his yellow mackintosh and requesting a whisky and soda, while the Oldest Member warns of the folly of driving into the father of the girl you love …

"I turned to this book, one of my favorites by Wodehouse, when I needed a break from some more serious reading. There are nine stories in this collection: a Blandings Castle story, three golf stories told by The Oldest Member, a Drones Club story, and three concerning that resourceful scoundrel Ukridge. They're all excellent, but the honors have to go to "The Crime Wave at Blandings," the longest story here, and one of the best things Wodehouse ever wrote. The Efficient Baxter has returned to torment Lord Emsworth, but before the action is over, he has been shot with an air rifle a total of four times - by Lord Emsworth (twice), Lady Constance, and even by Beach, the butler. It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Highly recommended for Wodehouse fans, and it would probably be a good introduction for those not familiar with his world."

Quotes

  • “Nigel Lambert sounds as if Wodehouse himself directed him. His timing is flawless, his characterizations masterful. Moreover, he throws himself so thoroughly into the narrative that even a much lesser text would sound hilarious and even exciting. This is a great comic interpreting the work of a great humorist.”

    " This is a collection of short stories. There is only one story from the Blandings Castle series, and it was laugh out loud funny. The other stories weren't quite as clever, but I still enjoyed reading them. I would recommend reading the Blandings Castle from the beginning. It has some of my favorite Wodehouse characters. "
