Description
At Blandings Castle, the Earl of Emsworth tries to keep order as his household is thrown into uproar by scheming relatives, opportunists, and the kind of misunderstandings that only Wodehouse can turn into pure comic momentum. When a scandalous nude painting becomes the center of competing claims and elaborate maneuvering, loyalties are tested and reputations are put through the wringer—often with disastrous results for everyone involved. Through the eyes of Galahad Threewood, a rare survivor of the long-defunct Pelican Club, the novel captures the fading glamour of raffish gentlemanly life while celebrating the absurd resilience of its characters. With Wodehouse’s signature lightness, brisk pacing, and affectionate satire of class, vanity, and social performance, this is a quintessential Blandings adventure—uproarious, warm, and delightfully off-kilter.
