Description:
Blandings Castle (also published as Blandings Castle and Elsewhere) is a sparkling collection of short stories by P.G. Wodehouse, gathering some of the finest tales from his beloved Blandings universe. At the heart of it all is Clarence, the gloriously absent-minded ninth Earl of Emsworth, whose entire existence revolves around one ambition: ensuring his prize pig, the Empress of Blandings, triumphs at the Shropshire Agricultural Show. Standing in his way are his formidably bossy sister Lady Constance, a mutinous head gardener, assorted hapless relatives, and the general chaos that descends upon the castle with every new season. The collection also ventures to Hollywood for a deliciously sharp set of stories about the excesses of the film world. Witty, warm, and endlessly funny — this is the perfect introduction to Blandings, and a delight for devoted Wodehouse fans. For adult readers.
