Clarence, 9th Earl of Emsworth, is preoccupied with his prize-winning pig, the Empress of Blandings, and the upcoming agricultural show, while the news that his brother, Galahad Threepwood, is writing his memoirs, has many ageing aristocrats worried.

Author description

Pelham (Plum) Grenville Wodehouse was born in 1881 in Guildford, Surrey. Having spent his early years in Hong Kong he was sent to Dulwich College and worked as a banker and journalist before embarking on a career as a prolific and popular writer. He became an American citizen in 1955 and was knighted in 1975 a few weeks before his death in Southampton, New York, on February 14.
