  • "A tale filled with a wonderfully batty assemblage of characters: the pompous duke, the doddering earl, the haughty secretary, the plebeian swineherder."@en
  • "The description of his ancestral seat as an earthly Paradise would, at present, have struck its proprietor as ironical. What Lord Emsworth needed above all was a rugged ally at his side to remove the guest from Blandings, leaving him in peace."
  • "The beautiful Myra Shoonmaker longs for escape from Blandings and for her romance with the poor curate Bill Bailey. But Blandings is anything but bland, and soon hijinks of all kinds are in motion to help the two lovers reunite."@en

  • "The debonair Uncle Fred makes a welcome return to Blandings, where plotting and confusion is rife. Blackmail, sabotage, jilted lovers and pigs under threat of kidnap all feature largely, making this hilarious instalment in the Blandings series irresistible to fans and newcomers alike. The story sees lovely debutante Myra Schoonmaker unhappily ensconced in Blandings at the insistence of Lady Constance Keeble, who objects to Myra's entanglement with down-at-heel curate Bill Bailey."@en
  • "Lord Emsworth needs help to remove unwanted guests from his ancestral home he operates as a hotel, Blandings, so he may be left in peace to tend to his beloved pig, Empress of Blandings. However, when Lord Ickenham goes on an expedition, trouble tends to lurk."@en
  • "Wanneer een excentrieke aristocratische vriend aanbiedt Lord Emsworth bij de oplossing van een aantal problemen te helpen wordt Blandings Castle het toneel van vele komische verwikkelingen."
