Description
Lord Emsworth's prized pig, the Empress of Blandings, is at the centre of Wodehouse's hilarious tale of mistaken identity, the triumph of young love, and general mayhem among the twits at Blandings Castle.
Galahad can't abide broken hearts, so when a rash of broken couples crops up--along with a meddlesome mother and a drunken pig--he tries to put everything right. This is a splendid piece of Wodehouse foolery; one of the sunniest and funniest books for years.
