NOW A MAJOR BBC DRAMA STARRING TIMOTHY SPALL, DAVID WALLIAMS AND JENNIFER SAUNDERS

Published to coincide with the star-filled BBC production of Blandings, this superb new anthology sees these celebrated stories together for the first time.

Set in the delightfully dysfunctional mess of Blandings Castle these 6 gems follow the trials of poor Earl Emsworth and his beloved pig Empress as they clash with a panoply of friends and family, servants and spongers, bookies and hucksters. And all served up with great lashings of comedy from that rarest of geniuses: P.G. Wodehouse.

Praise for Blandings: TV Tie-In

A genius ... Elusive, delicate but lasting.

Alan Ayckbourn

For as long as I'm immersed in a P.G. Wodehouse book, it's possible to keep the real world at bay and live in a far, far nicer, funnier one where happy endings are the order of the day.

Marian Keyes

It's dangerous to use the word genius to describe a writer, but I'll risk it with him.

John Humphrys

Not only the funniest English novelist who ever wrote but one of our finest stylists.

Susan Hill

P.G. Wodehouse remains the greatest chronicler of a certain kind of Englishness, that no one else has ever captured quite so sharply, or with quite as much wit and affection.

Julian Fellowes

P.G. Wodehouse wrote the best English comic novels of the century.

Sebastian Faulks

Sublime comic genius

Ben Elton

The funniest writer ever to put words to paper.

Hugh Laurie

The greatest comic writer ever.

Douglas Adams

The incomparable and timeless genius - perfect for readers of all ages, shapes and sizes!

Kate Mosse

The Wodehouse wit should be registered at Police HQ as a chemical weapon.

Kathy Lette

Witty and effortlessly fluid. His books are laugh-out-loud funny.

Arabella Weir

Wodehouse always lifts your spirits, no matter how high they happen to be already.

Lynne Truss

You don't analyse such sunlit perfection, you just bask in its warmth and splendour.

Stephen Fry
