A Blandings novelUncle Fred is one of the hottest earls that ever donned a coronet. Or as he crisply said, ‘There are no limits, literally none, to what I can achieve in the springtime.’Even so, his gifts are stretched to the limit when he is urged by Lord Emsworth to save his prize pig, the Empress of Blandings, from the enforced slimming cure of the haughty Duke of Dunstable.

Roundly praised as the finest of Wodehouse's works, it was the first one I read. I love the Empress.

When the eccentric Uncle Fred played Cupid to Lord Emsworth, little did he know that he would be known as Imposter A and the Lord's pig, the Empress, as Imposter B.
