Summary

Part of Wodehouse Blandings series. When a valuable scarab belonging to an American millionaire is absent-mindedly stolen by Lord Emsworth, young writers Ashe Marson and Joan Valentine are tasked with infiltrating Blandings Castle to retrieve it. Meanwhile, vacuous Freddie Threepwood worries that some compromising letters may scupper his engagement to the millionaire's daughter. Wodehouse’s comic masterpiece combines above and below stairs pretensions with all the fun of a romantic thriller.

An early Blandings novel, with no interfering sisters, no pumpkin, no Empress, but a Freddie in crisis, and the Efficient Baxter threatening doom. It’s one of my favourites, even more so now that I have heard it being performed by Martin Jarvis.
Simply, one of the best.

The Martin Jarvis/P.G. Wodehouse combo triumphs again. Highly recommended for all Wodehouse fans, with Lord Emsworth at his bumbling best

Brilliant performance

Another hilarious romp in the Blandings series. I love the Blandings books and find them much funnier than Jeeves & Wooster (which I also like very much). Narrator, Martin Jarvis, is excellent as always. Can't wait to Listen to the next one.

Immaculately read, by the best narrator around. Beautiful sentences, superb comic set-pieces, wonderful characters. The real deal.
