Description
|
|
|
|
This is the first Blandings novel, in which P.G. Wodehouse introduces us to the delightfully dotty Lord Emsworth; his bone-headed younger son, the Hon. Freddie Threepwood; his long-suffering secretary, the Efficient Baxter; and Beach, the Blandings butler. As Wodehouse wrote, "without at least one impostor on the premises, Blandings Castle is never itself." Here there are two, each with an eye on a valuable scarab which Lord Emsworth has acquired without quite realizing how it came into his pocket—but of course things get a lot more complicated than this. Best known as the creator of Jeeves (the impossibly wise, supremely well-mannered gentleman's gentleman) and Wooster (his unflaggingly affable but bumbling employer), Wodehouse invokes the very British spirit of a bygone era in a gentle, hilarious satire that, as Evelyn Waugh puts it, "satisfies the most sophisticated taste and the simplest."
