Same old formula that works so well - It's a Blandings Castle story, which means there's imposters, empress kidnappings, and annoying secretaries (not the efficient Baxter, though). Uncle Fred too. If you love Wodehouse, you'll love this. Stand alone story as always, but the series is best read in order, so you're familiar with each character and their history.

Entertaining Blandings Castle story, although a little confusing in parts. Layers of peers (Emsworth, Ickenham, Dunstable, Tilbury) and multiple sundered hearts. Fortunately only one pig, one butler and one troublesome sister.

Lord Emsworth is sorely tried at Blandings Castle. Constance has allowed the Church Lads' Brigade to camp on the castle grounds. Lord Ickenham arrives to sort things out.
