Column Of Books Pigs Have Wings (Blandings Castle #8)

In his long life, PG Wodehouse published over 90 books, a statistic that stuns me when ever I think of it. Some ingrates will tell you that he really only wrote 5 or 6, that the rest are all reworks of those, but what do ingrates know? Occasionally he did write a clinker. PIGS HAVE WINGS is not one them.Perfect whipped cream for those times when you only want dessert -- that's what Wodehouse is at his best. In the book under discussion, we return to Blandings Castle for yet another threat to the

The Blandings Castle series, I feel, is not as humorous as other P.G. Wodehouse novels, but there were some laugh out loud moments! You'll have to read it yourself in order to understand the title :)

In "Pigs Have Wings", all is not well at Blandings Castle. The Shropshire Show is coming up and while Lord Emsworth is certain that his pig Empress will once again carry away first prize, his brother Galahad suspects foul-play on the part of neighbour and fellow pig-shower Sir Gregory Parsloe. There are hijinks involving diet pills, two butlers, a sober pigman, and pig-pinching. There are subplots involving three romances and it all gets very complicated. I confess that while I adore Wodehouse,

One of the funniest by Wodehouse. One could be quoting paragraphs from start to end. I'll write just two."The door opened again, this time to admit a handsome woman of imperious aspect in whom -after blinking once or twice through his pince-nez- he recognized his sister, Lady Constance Keeble.He eyed her apprehensively, like some rat of the underworld cornered by G-men. Painful experience had taught him that visits from Connie meant trouble, and he braced himself, as always, to meet with stout

The first Wodehouse book I ever read. I was in love from page 1, and subsequently read almost all of the eighty-odd books he ever wrote. Full of absurd, wildly wonderful plots, quirky characters, and wit so dry you could burn your fingers on it. P.G.'s books always have a happy ending, so be prepared to walk with a lighter step when you're done.

Star-crossed lovers, disgruntled butlers, cash-strapped secretaries, annoyed sisters, helpful brothers and stolen pigs are thrown together into another sweet English trifle of a story, where nothing terrible that occurs cannot be solved by the cerebral machinations of Galahad Threepwood. The perfect book with which to enjoy a lazy weekend afternoon. :-)

"No," said Lady Constance, after a moment's thought. "No, I shall not dismiss Beach. I take the view that he was led astray by Galahad. Galahad! I remember, when we were children," said Lady Constance wistfully, "seeing Galahad fall into that deep pond in the kitchen garden. And just as he was sinking for the last time, one of the gardeners came and pulled him out," she added, speaking with a sort of wild regret. It was plain that she was in agreement with the poet that of all sad words of
