There is trouble afoot at Blandings Castle, with publishing magnate Lord Tilbury after Galahad Threepwood's sensational memoirs, and Sir Gregory Parsloe-Parsloe in pursuit of Lord Emsworth's pig yet again. Against this background, Galahad's fearsome sisters, Julia and Constance, try to sabotage the marriage of Julia's son, Ronnie, to chorus girl Sue Brown, while mustachioed private investigator, Percy Pilbeam, circles them all like a vulture waiting for the pickings. A classic Blandings farce.

A P.G. Wodehouse collection  Money makes the world go round for Stanley Featherstonehaugh Ukridge - and when there isn't enough of it, the world just has to spin a bit faster. Ever on the lookout for a quick buck, a solid gold fortune, or at least a plausible little scrounge, the irrepressible Ukridge gives con men a bad name. Looking like an animated blob of mustard in his bright yellow raincoat, he invests time, passion and energy (but seldom actual cash) in a series of increasingly bizarre money-making schemes. Finance for a dog college? It's yours. Shares in an accident syndicate? Easily arranged. Promoting a kind-hearted heavyweight boxer? A snip. Poor Corky Corcoran, Ukridge's old school chum and confidant, trails through these pages in the ebullient wake of Wodehouse's most disreputable but endearing hero and hopes to escape with his shirt at least.Contents"Ukridge's Dog College"US: Cosmopolitan, April 1923UK: Strand, May 1923"Ukridge's Accident Syndicate"US: Cosmopolitan, May 1923UK: Strand, June 1923 (as "Ukridge, Teddy Weeks and the Tomato")"The Debut of Battling Billson"US: Cosmopolitan, June 1923UK: Strand, July 1923"First Aid for Dora"US: Cosmopolitan, July 1923UK: Strand, August 1923"The Return of Battling Billson"US: Cosmopolitan, August 1923UK: Strand, September 1923"Ukridge Sees Her Through"US: Cosmopolitan, September 1923UK: Strand, October 1923"No Wedding Bells for Him"US: Cosmopolitan, October 1923UK: Strand, November 1923"The Long Arm of Looney Coote"US: Cosmopolitan, November 1923UK: Strand, December 1923"The Exit of Battling Billson"US: Cosmopolitan, December 1923UK: Strand, January 1924"Ukridge Rounds a Nasty Corner"US: Cosmopolitan, January 1924UK: Strand, February 1924Ukridge had previously appeared in Love Among the Chickens (1906), Wodehouse's first novel to be published in the U.S., and would return in some other shorts. The timeline of his adventures is rather hard to follow - the tales collected here begin with him meeting up with Corky after a long separation, and follow fairly neatly on from each other, via being disowned by his Aunt Julia to meeting Millie, to whom he is married by the time of Love Among the Chickens. In the later shorts, however, he seems to be still single and living on and off with his aunt.

The nearest Wodehouse ever came to a serious story, The Coming of Bill is a fascinating blend of social comment and light comedy. It concerns the offspring of Ruth, a spoilt heiress, and Kirk, an impecunious artist of perfect physique, brought together by Ruth’s aunt, a believer in eugenics. The young couple are eventually successful in retrieving their child and their marriage from the influence of overbearing Mrs Poter, but only after a series of comic mishaps in a book which features a galaxy of vintage Wodehouse characters, including the bossy aunt, a tetchy millionaire, a good-natured ex-boxer and an orotund English butler.

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.
