Product Description

From Library Journal

One of Wodehouse's most popular characters, the addled Lord Emsworth, is once again harried by unwanted houseguests who cut into his time with the Empress of Blandings, his prize-winning pig. Among the foul guests is a tediously opinionated and self-invited duke. The duke has also invited along a young American, to whom he plans to sell a painting he has purchased solely in order to skin the latter. Things start getting sticky when the painting (which may be a fake) is stolen, and other guests prove not to be all they claim. Wodehouse was 88 years old when he published this novel in 1969. It consequently lacks the cohesiveness of his earlier Blandings books but is, nevertheless, full of delights--which are made all the more delightful by Nigel Lambert's spirited reading.

From AudioFile

It would be easy to drive off the road while you whoop with laughter over this audiobook. From the first bon mot to the last cheerio, each syllable is a pearl before swine. Nigel Lambert performs admirably with different pitches and myriad accents. The dialogue makes you wonder just how many readers there really are. If you are a Wodehouse fan, this reading will elate you. If you have only seen Jeeves on the telly, have a go at this jolly presentation.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Pure entertainment all the way., Sep 20 2002

(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Blandings Castle, Shropshire, England, is the setting for many of Wodehouse's comic extravaganzas. Accommodated in many of its 52 bedrooms is a varied collection of dotty relatives of Clarence, ninth Earl of Emsworth. Clarence himself, dottier than any of them, dotes on the Empress of Blandings, an enormous prize-winning sow, and is usually to be seen, day or night, leaning over the wall of her sty. Nagged by his sister Connie, bewildered by his many American visitors and in-laws, and dazed by the complicated comings and goings of the many moon-faced young men and dizzy young damsels whom he encounters in the castle and its grounds, he is steered safely through life by a dedicated butler.

Of course it all means nothing at all, and the characters are no more than comic cartoon figures, but the quality of the writing is superb. Metaphors, similes, classical allusions, sparkling dialogue - you'll find every component of stylish writing on display here.

If you are lucky enough to be able to buy, beg, borrow or download Nigel Lambert's reading of the text in audio book form, you'll find every component of the art of book reading on display also. All this makes an ideal entrée into the world of P G Wodehouse, in particular to many entertaining hours at Blandings Castle.
