Narrative To Books Heavy Weather (Blandings Castle #5)

Lord Tilbury's blood pressure is rocketing skywards. The Hon. Galahad Threepwood's decision not to publish his scandalous reminiscences will lose him a small fortune. But he's one of the bulldog breed who don't readily admit defeat.

Monty Bodkin, abruptly given the boot by Lord Tilbury, has taken up his secretarial duties at Blandings Castle, home of Lord Emsworth and his adored pig, Empress of Blandings. There, it seems the publication - or otherwise - of the memoirs is becoming a "cause celebre".

Three camps are forming: those who want the book published, those who want it suppressed and those who, including Monty on one side and Percy Pilbeam, private detective, on the other, who have been sent to steal it. Whichever side they're on it's bound to involve blackmail, theft and the abduction of the Empress . . .

Discuss Containing Books Heavy Weather (Blandings Castle #5)

This is the sequel to Summer Lightning, aka Fish Preferred; the action begins a few days after that book ends. Since I just reread the earlier book, I followed up with Heavy Weather. Like its predecessor, this book represents Wodehouse at his best. As such, it's very funny, but at the same time, it's somewhat more emotional than a typical Wodehouse farce. Through a romantic misunderstanding, two of the main characters are unhappy through much of the book - and I mean deeply unhappy, not

Heavy Weather is the fourth book in P. G. Wodehouse's Blandings Castle series and it's back to fun and games similar to that of the first book, Something New [aka Something Fresh]. This time around we're having a healthy round of "Manuscript, Manuscript, Who's Got the Manuscript?" and for those with more animal interests a second game called "Poach the Pig." While there are no impersonations in this particular outing, there are misunderstandings galore as the vague Lord Emsworth battles to

Funny thing is, I am still a fan. He he majorly repetitive, but IMHO on him it looks good.Granted all of this is a matter of taste. But PG is and has

Storms might be raging elsewhere in the grounds of Blandings Castle, but there on the lawn was peacethe perfect unruffled peace which in this world seems to come only to those who have done nothing whatever to deserve it. The world of Blandings is one of most popular of Wodehouses creations that contains many of his most popular character types. Domineering aunts, eccentric uncles, a young couple whose love is constantly interrupted by shallow misunderstandings, a slithering villain, over

Is any Wodehouse ever actually BAD? This isnt the strongest one, mostly because all the hijinks & comical machinations are to marry off a chorus-girl to a real turd of a man. Possessive, sulky, short = shes better off without him!

August 2016 reread: One of Wodehouse's finest, full of zany plots and counterplots. I love his humor but have discovered (somewhat to my dismay) that not everyone shares my taste in humor/comedy. If you like Jeeves & Wooster but haven't discovered the delights of Blandings Castle yet, please start with Something Fresh (sometimes titled "Something New") as the comedy builds if you read the series in order. Even so, this is pretty darn funny as a standalone if you like this style of writing!

Pretty much perfect Wodehouse, shimmery and brilliant. Lord Emsworth and Monty Bodkin in the same book, as well as Lady Constance Keeble and Lady Julia Fish, makes for utter adorableness.
