A collection of stories in which familiar characters and places are reintroduced in unfamiliar circumstances, reminding us - if we need reminding - of their author's limitless powers of comic invention. In the title story - one of Wodehouse's longest and best shorter fictions - Lord Emsworth takes his revenge on his ghastly secretary, the Efficient Baxter, setting off a wave of similar reprisals at Blandings Castle with amazing results. In other tales we meet several members of the Drones Club, while the final three reunite us with the ineffable Ukridge, more of whose ever-optimistic schemes for making easy money come to grief. A delightful meeting with old friends for some readers, a superb introduction to the world of Wodehouse for others.

For the first of his many appearances in the Wodehouse canon, Uncle Fred comes to what he believes to be the rescue.

FORE! Is a collection of ten short golf stories by the famous humorist P.G. Wodehouse, a genuine golf addict. The talent he displayed when writing lyrics for Broadway shows like Oscar Hammerstein's "Show Boat" and "Anything Goes," plus the movies adapted from his stories comes through without effort in these stories, which include the following - as told by The 'Eldest Member' of Wodehouse's country club, as he sits in the bar at the nineteenth hole: "THE CLICKING OF CUTHBERT" "A WOMAN IS ONLY A WOMAN" "A MIXED THREESOME" "SUNDERED HEARTS" "THE SALVATION OF GEORGE MACKINTOSH" "ORDEAL BY GOLF" "THE LONG HOLE" "THE HEEL OF ACHILLES" "THE ROUGH STUFF" "THE COMING OF GOWF" As an extra added feature, the publisher (Magic Lamp Press) has added an appendix containing select quotes from the Wodehouse works, as well as numerous humorous utterances about golf made by other celebrities.

"[Blandings] is an entire world unto itself and, one senses, Wodehouse pours into it his deepest feelings for England." —Stephen Fry The Honourable Galahad Threepwood has decided to write his memoir—a tell-all that could destroy polite society. Everyone wants this manuscript gone, particularly Lord Emsworth’s neighbor Sir Gregory Parsloe-Parsloe, who would do anything to keep the story of the prawns buried in the past. But the memoir isn’t the only problem. A chorus girl disguised as an heiress, a double-dealing detective, a stolen prize-winning sow, and a crazy ex-secretary are only a few of the complications that must be dealt with before everyone can have their happy ending.

A Blandings novel When the moon is full at Blandings, strange things happen: among them the commissioning of a portrait of The Empress, twice in succession winner in the Fat Pigs Class at the Shropshire Agricultural Show. What better choice of artist, in Lord Emsworth's opinion, than Landseer. The renowned painter of The Stag at Bay may have been dead for decades, but that doesn't prevent Galahad Threepwood from introducing him to the castle - or rather introducing Bill Lister, Gally's godson, so desperately in love with Prudence that he's determined to enter Blandings in yet another imposture. Add a gaggle of fearsome aunts, uncles and millionaires, mix in Freddie Threepwood, Beach the Butler and the gardener McAllister, and the moon is full indeed.

In The Inimitable Jeeves, Bertie Wooster and his valet Jeeves embark on a series of riotous adventures. Among other things they involve Bertie's feeble attempts to stop his friend Bingo Little from falling in love with every girl he meets. But the amiable chump's main concern is to avoid the eagle eye and iron will of his merciless Aunt Agatha. In one of the funniest works in the English language, P. G. Wodehouse charms, delights, and occasionally surprises the reader with his shrewd parody of the carefree lives of the English elite.
