Description:

Pongo Twistleton dreads his annual lunch with the indomitable Uncle Fred—seventy-year-old fifth Earl of Ickenham, a whirlwind of aristocratic mayhem in pink suits. This time, Fred's "simple" scheme reunites Pongo with lost love Sally Painter by swapping a priceless Bostock bust with her sculpture—while Pongo woos stuffy Sir Aylmer for daughter Hermione's hand. Chaos erupts: incognito Fred tangles with Major Brabazon-Plomley, raspberry jam vanishes mysteriously, and Pongo's hair fairly levitates. As fiancées swap, invasions loom, and schemes spectacularly backfire in this "colourful universe of aristocratic buffoonery" (Greg James, BBC Radio 1), will Pongo snag the right bride? Or does Uncle Dynamite's genius doom love, art, and jam alike? Pure Wodehouse lunacy!
