  • "The Hon. Galahad Treepwood's decision not to publish his scandalous reminiscences will lose him a small fortune, but he's one of a bulldog breed who doesn't readily admit defeat. However, Monty Bodkin, abruptly given the boot by Lord Tibury, has taken up his secretarial duties at Blandings Castle, home of Lord Emsworth and his adored pig, Empress of Blandings. There it seems the publication - or otherwise - of the memoirs is becoming a cause célèbre. Three camps are forming: those who want the book published, those who want it suppressed and those who have been sent to steal it. Whichever side they're on its bound to involve blackmail, theft and the abduction of the Empress ... - Container."
  • "A month's salary in his pocket, chagrin in his heart, and in his soul that urgent desire for a quick snifter which comes to young men at times like this, Monty Bodkin is hesitating between the Bunch of Grapes and the Drones Club. This is no light decision. It will affect the destinies of Ronald Fish and his betrothed, Sue Brown; of Clarence, ninth Earl of Emsworth, and his pig, empress of Blandings; of Lord Tilbury, of the Mammoth Publishing Company; and of the unpleasant Percy Pilbeam, proprietor of the Argus Private Inquiry Agency. Fate is in a playful mood and sends Monty to the Drones Club ..."@en
  • "Lord Tilbury, a publisher among other things, is in jeopardy of losing his wealth after a famous author decides to pull out of an important book deal. Trying to reverse his fortune, Tilbury is surprised to discover that his financial future lies in the sale of a prize-winning pig."

  • "Gloom lay like a mantle over the Mammoth Publishing Company, heaviest in the office of the proprietor, Lord Tilbury. On his desk lay a letter, brief but blasting: "Dear Sir: Enclosed find cheque for the advance you paid me on those Reminiscences of mine. I have been thinking it over and have decided not to publish them after all. Yours truly, G. Threepwood." Dismayed but not conceding defeat, Lord Tilbury set about retrieving his fortunes, little knowing that he was toying with the happiness of Sue Brown and Ronnie Fish, foreseeing not at all that his wiles would lead him into situations most distressing for a newly made peer, never guessing that his final obstacle would be the rotund form of the Empress of Blandings, Lord Emsworth's prize pig."@en
