A brilliant collection of short stories. Only the first one is Blandings, there are a few Oldest Member stories, and (my favourite) a few Ukridge. Brilliant writing, although a couple of the golfing stories fell a bit flat.

Collection of short stories including the extremely funny "The Crime Wave at Blandings". I also enjoyed the three golf stories and the three featuring Ukridge and found even the Mulliner and the Drones stories to be well worth reading.

A good collection. The golf stories weren't my favorite but still had moments that made me smile/chuckle. Loved The Crime Wave at Blandings.

It's Wodehouse, nuff said. The strongest stories in this anthology were the golf shorts, followed by the Blandings tale, Ukridge not quite quite for me.

Wodehouse always makes me laugh, the antics of his characters and the fantastic dialogues make this book a must-read

There was only 1 Blandings castle story 'Crime wave at Blandings'. That was the best of the 9 stories in this collection. Others were Golf stories, Mulliner and Ukridge, which were average. As always, Stephen Fry's audible narration was delightful.

This is a great book if you want a snippet from each of Wodehouse’s different series of books!
