In this story, an engagingly vague Lord Emsworth battles to prevent a pig-napping, Lord Tillbury lurks, desperate to filch Gally Threepwood's sensational memoirs, and those formidable sisters, Julia and Constance, will do anything to sabotage the nuptials of Ronnie Fish and chorus girl Sue. Also thrown into the proverbial mix are: Parsloe-Parsloe, Monty Bodkin and Percy Pilbeam. Confused? So is Beach the butler, drawn into events by a heady cocktail of loyalty and self-interest. But surely, the storm will conk out and the thunder will grumble away...This is Wodehouse's comic genius at its most magical, so expect sunshine - and even a bally rainbow - when the weather lightens and all the confusions of the castle are finally resolved. Pip, pip!

Martin Jarvis inhabits this masterpiece of cross-purposes with dazzling vocal dexterity, adding another laugh-out-loud performance to his many Wodehouse readings.

I like Martin Jarvis’ narration of the Blandings stories, I just wish this was not an abridged version!

Where Jeeves &co rule the short episodic stories Galahad threepwood rule this sweeping saga of love & loss - if only a Reuben’s oil painting could have been commisioned of the Empress of Blandings our great galleries of art would have been much improved with and a world wide atraction would have the wonder of this phenomena and its complex geo-political intrigues would be the stuff of legend- and that tale of Helen of Troy would have dwindled into the mere stuff of village gossip;
