Lord Emsworth Acts for the Best

P. G. Wodehouse

Martin Jarvis

Blandings Castle is the home of Lord Emsworth, who likes nothing better than to potter at home in his enormous castle garden. But his rural idyll is once again set to be disturbed. No peace is possible when his sister Constance is let loose, and she is constantly trying to reorganise the household! Without great success …The nieces are unhappy, McAllister leaves at a difficult time, and then The Empress of Blandings – Emsworth’s prize pig – goes off her pig-food! Set this against the continuing tangled love affairs of Freddie Threepwood, and the stage is once more set for classic Wodehouse hilarity!

Reviews of Lord Emsworth Acts for the Best

A master, a genius of inventiveness and versatility, brilliant in his use of language, more adroit than almost any novelist since Dickens at working out a complex package of plot, sub-plot, and sub-sub-plot' – Daily Telegraph
