Resumen del Editor

Galahad can't abide broken hearts. So when Sam Bagshott and Sandy, Lord Emsworth's current secretary, have a falling-out over a bet, Galahad determines to reunite the warring couple. Sam stands to win a sackful if Tipton Plimsoll marries Veronica Wedge, Lord Emsworth's niece, but there's a rumor that Tipton is deep in the financial soup. Veronica's fearsome mother immediately stops all nuptials. To add to the mayhem, the Empress, Lord Emsworth's beloved prize porker, is discovered drunk. Fortunately, Galahad is on hand to put matters right. Or so he hopes.

Wonderful Wodehouse

Oh my gosh! This story had so many great one-liners, subplots (of course!), and unforeseen twists that it may be my favorite Wodehouse yet!
So grateful to Audible for having it available and for offering it for free to Audible Plus members!

Best book and best narrator

This book was published during the peak of Beatlemania and I imagine some cross influence in the book lyrics or phrasing.
It also seems to be an encore or “best of” performance reminiscent of many prior Blandings escapades that seem recent past but were written over two World Wars earlier. (Did 1960’s British bobbies commonly ride bicycles on patrol? Would a messenger carry a letter for sixpence when a 45 rpm record cost 12 times as much? Did Lord Emsworth sail back from America or did he fly?)
I say this is PGW’s best book because it’s the one I just heard. I almost always feel that way about a Blandings or Jeeves book when I first finish. And Jonathan Cecil is often the best narrator but I give Jeremy the nod for his subtlety. PG has hundreds of clever phrases here and other narrators were better at drawing attention to such, Mr Sinden forced me to listen closer and consciously which enriched the experience.

One of the best comic novels of all time

Blandings Castle must feel that something is not quite right with the world when there isn't at least one imposter residing within its walls. Luckily, here we have not only someone posing as the author of Lord Emsworth's favorite pig book, but we have drunk pigs, angry aunts, befuddled peers, and broken hearts which must be mended. Thank goodness Galahad Threepwood is on hand to steer everyone to a happy ending! This book has everything you expect from a P.G. Wodehouse novel, and may be his best book of all time.

Galahad at His Best

Though a late production (1965), this is a worthy addition to the Blandings saga that began way back in 1915. In the face of problems knottier than a macrame plant hanger, that ingenious, slightly dubious character Gally Threepwood manages to find happy endings for everyone—except, of course, his sister Lady Hermione. And Jeremy Sinden’s performance makes you wish he’d recorded more Wodehouse than he did.

brilliant

Possibly the most brilliantly concocted plot of dozens of novels by this master. A delight.

Very enjoyable

A classic Wodehouse story you’ll enjoy. Fun characters and Galahad is such a fun protagonist.

Not up to P. G.’s usual form

Wodehouse’s character Galahad Threepwood is the one who binds together the diverse threads and vignettes of this book, but the cloth the author weaves is pretty weak pile. All the usual Wodehouse gags and gimmicks are here: they just don’t work the same magic, as the characters (other than Galahad) don’t earn our affection.
