About the book

Synopsis

NOW A MAJOR BBC DRAMA STARRING TIMOTHY SPALL, DAVID WALLIAMS AND JENNIFER SAUNDERS

Published to coincide with the star-filled BBC production of Blandings, this superb new anthology sees these celebrated stories together for the first time.

Set in the delightfully dysfunctional mess of Blandings Castle these 6 gems follow the trials of poor Earl Emsworth and his beloved pig Empress as they clash with a panoply of friends and family, servants and spongers, bookies and hucksters. And all served up with great lashings of comedy from that rarest of geniuses: P.G. Wodehouse.

What the critics say

Sublime comic genius
-

You don't analyse such sunlit perfection, you just bask in its warmth and splendour.
-

The funniest writer ever to put words to paper.
-

For as long as I'm immersed in a P.G. Wodehouse book, it's possible to keep the real world at bay and live in a far, far nicer, funnier one where happy endings are the order of the day.
-

P.G. Wodehouse wrote the best English comic novels of the century.
-

The greatest comic writer ever.
-

Witty and effortlessly fluid. His books are laugh-out-loud funny.
-

Not only the funniest English novelist who ever wrote but one of our finest stylists.
-

P.G. Wodehouse remains the greatest chronicler of a certain kind of Englishness, that no one else has ever captured quite so sharply, or with quite as much wit and affection.
-

The incomparable and timeless genius - perfect for readers of all ages, shapes and sizes!
-

The Wodehouse wit should be registered at Police HQ as a chemical weapon.
-

Wodehouse always lifts your spirits, no matter how high they happen to be already.
-

A genius ... Elusive, delicate but lasting.
-

It's dangerous to use the word genius to describe a writer, but I'll risk it with him.

About the Author

The author of almost a hundred books and the creator of Jeeves, Blandings Castle, Psmith, Ukridge, Uncle Fred and Mr Mulliner, P.G. Wodehouse was born in 1881 and educated at Dulwich College. After two years with the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank he became a full-time writer, contributing to a variety of periodicals. As well as his novels and short stories, he wrote lyrics for musical comedies, and at one stage had five shows running simultaneously on Broadway. At the age of 93, in the New Year's Honours List of 1975, he received a long-overdue Knighthood, only to die on St Valentine's Day some 45 days later.
