Product Description

The thought of being cooped up in Blandings Castle with Clarence the Earl of Emsworth the perennially youthful Galahad & with the Earl's younger son Freddie Threepwood openly appalled Colonel Wedge. It was he grimly asserted like being wrecked on a desert island with the Marx Brothers. But the arrival of Tipton Plimsoll at Blandings Castle considerably brightened the Colonel's horizon. For Tip-ton was a rich young American & rich young Americans were in the Colonel's opinion quite the most desirable companions for his daughter Veronica the dumbest beauty listed in the pages of Debrett. The stage was set for a great romance or so the Colonel thought & so it might have been had the knowledge of Freddie's erstwhile engagement to Veronica been withheld from the jealous Tipton or if Prudence the Earl's niece had not been forcibly parted from her unsuitable lover Bill Lister. On such incidents do great issues depend. However Uncle Gaily who combined the ready resource of a confidence trickster with the zeal of a cheerful crusader intervened with an ingenious scheme to reunite the young lovers. It was a master-plan. How the plot miscarried at the crucial stage & in doing so caused a social & domestic revolution unparalleled in the history of Blandings Castle is revealed in this most hilarious of chronicles.
