Sunset at Blandings


Book Description

This is Wodehouse's last, unfinished chronicle of Blandings and includes a treasure trove of detailed notes on the final stages of the plot, enabling us to watch over his shoulder to observe the master at work. The revels at Blandings Castle are now ended but, as Richard Usborne confirms delightedly, its cloud-capped towers shall not dissolve. Although written when Wodehouse was ninety-three, the pages of SUNSET AT BLANDINGS remain 'funny, fresh, young in heart and full of hammocks, sunshine and four pairs of lovers headed for altars.'

A Pelican at Blandings


Book Description

Blandings is now a major BBC One television series starring Jennifer Saunders and Timothy Spall.

Skulduggery is also afoot involving the sale of a modern nude painting (mistaken by Lord Emsworth for a pig). It's enough to take the noble earl on the short journey to the end of his wits. Luckily Clarence's brother Galahad Threepwood, cheery survivor of the raffish Pelican Club, is on hand to set things right, restore sundered lovers and even solve all the mysteries.
