When a mad Duke plans to kidnap the Empress of Blandings, Lord Emsworth calls in the ingenious Uncle Fred to pull the fat pig out of the fire.
Vintage Wodehouse,with an incredibly convoluted plot involving lots of personages from Blandings and The Drones and as always with Wodehouse, a delight.
This from Evelyn Waugh:
Mr Wodehouse's idyllic world can never stale. He will continue to release future generations from captivity that may be more irksome than our own. He has made a world for us to live in and delight in.
A masterpiece, and a delight to see Uncle Fred and Pongo back in action.
