Uncle Fred in Springtime: Pelham Wodehouse

A Blandings novel Uncle Fred is one of the hottest earls who ever donned a coronet. Or as he crisply puts it, `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. Pongo Twistleton knows his debonair but wild uncle shouldn`t really be allowed at large - especially when disguised as a brain surgeon. He fears the worst. And in yet another brilliant novel by the master of English comedy, Pongo will soon find his fears are amply justified.
