Description

|
|
Uncle Fred is one of the hottest earls that ever donned a coronet. Or as he crisply said, "There are no limits, literally none, to what I can achieve in the springtime." Even so, his gifts are stretched to the limit when he is urged by Lord Emsworth to save his prize pig, the Empress of Blandings, from the enforced slimming cure of the haughty Duke of Dunstable. Pongo Twistleton knows his debonair but wild uncle shouldn't really be allowed at large—especially when disguised as a brain surgeon. He fears the worst. And his fears are amply justified. 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."
