The World of Blandings by Pg Wodehouse

'P. G. Wodehouse wrote the best English comic novels of the century' Sebastian Faulks 'Witty and effortlessly fluid. His books are laugh-out-loud funny' Arabella Weir Welcome to Blandings Castle - where there's always something going on and a rollicking good time to be had. In this collection of assorted stories, dive into the wonderful world of Wodehouse where a comedy of errors awaits at every turn. Meet the regulars at Blandings: the engagingly dotty Lord Emsworth, his terrifying sister Lady Constance and his secretary the Efficient Baxter, whose attempts to bring order to the castle always end in disarray. And revel in the hijinks galore that come with the addition of lovestruck young men, headstrong young women, iron-willed aunts and imposters roaming the grounds - not to mention the Empress of Blandings, Lord Emsworth's prized pig.

Each time you read another Blandings story, the sublime nature of that world is such as to make you gasp * Stephen Fry *
It's dangerous to use the word genius to describe a writer, but I'll risk it with him * John Humphrys *
A genius.. Elusive, delicate but lasting * Alan Ayckbourn *
Not only the funniest English novelist who ever wrote but one of our finest stylists * Susan Hill *
For as long as I'm immersed in a P.G. Wodehouse book, it's possible to keep the real world at bay and live in a far, far nicer, funnier one where happy endings are the order of the day * Marian Keyes *
