A classic Blandings novel from P.G. Wodehouse, the great comic writer of the 20th century.
Uncle Fred believes he can achieve anything in the springtime. However, disguised as a loony-doctor and trying to prevent prize pig, the Empress of Blandings, from falling into the hands of the unscrupulous Duke of Dunstable, he is stretched to his limit.

When the moon is full at Blandings, strange things happen: among them the painting of a portrait of The Empress. Landseer, the painter may have been dead, but that doesn't prevent Threepwood from introducing him to the castle - or rather introducing Bill Lister, so in love with Prudence that he's determined to enter Blandings in an imposture.

The Oldest Member knows everything that has ever happened on the golf course -- and a great deal more besides.
Take the story of Cuthbert, for instance.

But enter a Great Russian Novelist with a strange passion, and Cuthbert's prospects are transformed. Then look at what happens to young Mitchell Holmes, who misses short putts because of the uproar of the butterflies in the adjoining meadows. His...

A Golf collection
From his favourite chair on the terrace above the ninth hole, The Oldest Member tells a series of hilarious golfing stories. From Evangeline, Bradbury Fisher's fifth wife and a notorious 'golfing giggler', to poor Rollo Podmarsh whose game was so unquestionably inept that 'he began to lose his appetite and would moan feebly at the sight of a poached egg', the game of golf, its players and their friends and enemies are here shown in all their comic glory. One of Wodehouse's funniest books, "The Heart of Goof "is a collection of peerlessly comic short stories.

It takes a lot of effort for Jimmy Crocker to become Piccadilly Jim -- nights on the town roistering, headlines in the gossip columns, a string of broken hearts and breaches of promise. Eventually he bacomes rather good at it and manages to go to pieces with his eyes open.
But no sooner has Jimmy cut wild swathe through fashionable London than his terrifying Aunt Nesta decides he must mend his ways. He then falls in love with the girl he has hurt most of all, and after that things get complicated.
In a dizzying plot, impersonations pile on impersonations so that (for reasons that will...

A P.G. Wodehouse collection
Money makes the world go round for Stanley Featherstonehaugh Ukridge -- and when there isn't enough of it, the world just has to spin a bit faster.
Ever on the lookout for a quick buck, a solid gold fortune, or at least a plausible little scrounge, the irrepressible Ukridge gives con men a bad name. Looking like an animated blob of mustard in his bright yellow raincoat, he invests time, passion and energy (but seldom actual cash) in a series of increasingly bizarre money-making schemes. Finance for a dog college? It's yours. Shares in an accident syndicate?...

Jeeves is acting as temporary butler to Captain Biggar, big-game hunter and all round tough guy while the young master is away teaching the aristocracy how to fend for itself in case of social revolution.

Bertie has committed the heinous offence of growing a moustache, and Jeeves strongly disapproves which is unfortunate, because Jeeves s feudal spirit is desperately needed."

Bertie is faced with a murky situation which, had Jeeves been at his side, he would doubtless have taken in his stride. But, alas, Jeeves has taken himself off to some distant resort and the young master has to manage as best he can.

It is a time of stress at Market Snodsbury as Bertie endeavours to protect himself from the affections of Madeline Bassett. It's a problem that calls for the massive brain of Jeeves.
