This is a collection of short stories mainly about Blandings Castle and
Lord Emsworth. There are more to the volume, but I confess, I only read
the Blandings ones. I love the Blanding stories! Lord Emsworth amuses me
no end and his brother, Sir Galahad Threepwood is a hoot. Like Bertie’s
Aunts, Lord Emsworth has Sisters and worse, Nephews. But the bane of his
life is his younger son, Freddie. Fortunately, Freddie marries an
American heiress to a dog bone manufacturer and goes off the the States
to work in her father’s vicinity. This collection includes the, I think,
first Blanding story “The Custody of the Pumpkin” which has Lord Emsworth
adoring his prize pumpkin prior to the advent of the Empress of Blandings
into his life. It also includes the classic “Pig-Hoo-O-O-O-Ey” where Lord
Emsworth really learns how to call a pig. As usual with everything by
Wodehouse, these stories are a delight.
