A Pelican at Blandings

Blandings Castle lacks its usual balm for the Earl of Emsworth, as his stern sister Lady Constance Keeble is once more in residence. The Duke of Dunstable is also infesting the place again, along with the standard quota of American millionaires, romantic youths, con artists, imposters and so on. With a painting of reclining nude at the centre of numerous intrigues, Gally's genius is once again required to sort things out.

P.G. Wodehouse

"Wodehouse's idyllic world can never stale. He will continue to release future generations from captivity that may be more irksome than our own. He has made a world for us to live in and delight in" Evelyn Waugh "The Everyman edition promises to be a splendid celebration of the divine Plum" The Independent "Sublime comic genius" Ben Elton "The finest and funniest writer the past century ever knew" Stephen Fry "Wodehouse is the greatest comic writer ever" Douglas Adams
