Blandings Castle and Elsewhere 💘🏰 PG Wodehouse 🐷🎃
Blandings Castle and Elsewhere, a compilation of short stories by P. G. Wodehouse, was first published in the United Kingdom on April 12, 1935, by Herbert Jenkins, London, and later in the United States as Blandings Castle on September 20, 1935, by Doubleday Doran, New York. These stories had already appeared in Strand Magazine (UK) and various US magazines except for the last one.
The initial six stories in the book take place at the eponymous Blandings Castle, set sometime between the events of Leave it to Psmith (1923) and Summer Lightning (1929). These stories portray Lord Emsworth of Blandings Castle as a gentleman farmer focused on growing award-winning pumpkins and exceptionally devoted to his prized pig, Empress of Blandings. He also cares for his nieces, nephews, and the romantic life of his younger son Freddie Threepwood.
The seventh story features Bobbie Wickham, a friend and occasional fiancée of Bertie Wooster, who is also present in three stories in Mr. Mulliner Speaking.
The final five stories, narrated by Mr. Mulliner, take place in Hollywood, set among the film studios Wodehouse was familiar with during his time as a screenwriter in 1930-31.
