A pelican at blandings

Clarence, ninth Earl of Emsworth, looks like the old man in a Victorian melodrama whose mortgage the villain had just foreclosed. He felt the absence of that glow which accompanied the departure of one of his sisters. Emsworth needed Galahad. There are tricky corners to be rounded and assorted godsons and pretty girls to be paired off. Fortunately, many years' membership of the Pelican Club means Galahad is able to keep cool, stiffen his upper lip, and always think quicker than the next man.

  • "Galahad is writing his memoirs, but will he upset all of his high-society friends in the process? The setting is the glorious Blandings castle, where Galahad Threepwood is trying to write his memoirs, which may well upset a few of his friends, whose youthful indiscretions he plans on exposing. A host of colourful and relatively ridiculous characters make this a farcical lot of joyful nonsense which gets funnier as the plot progresses, encompassing hidden love affairs, pig stealing, exclamations galore and 'trouble in paradise' as it were ... masterfully read by Martin Jarvis, a life-long fan of the genius of Wodehouse."@en

Among the annoying guests is an outspoken and arrogant duke, who's joined by a young American. When the painting the duke planned on selling to the American is stolen and the rest of the guests prove to be deceitfully masquerading about, Emsworth reaches his breaking point."@en
