FULL MOON PB – P.G. WODEHOUSE

A Blandings novel When the moon is full at Blandings, strange things happen: among them the commissioning of a portrait of The Empress, twice in succession winner in the Fat Pigs Class at the Shropshire Agricultural Show. What better choice of artist, in Lord Emsworth s opinion, than Landseer. The renowned painter of The Stag at Bay may have been dead for decades, but that doesn t prevent Galahad Threepwood from introducing him to the castle – or rather introducing Bill Lister, Gally s godson, so desperately in love with Prudence that he s determined to enter Blandings in yet another imposture. Add a gaggle of fearsome aunts, uncles and millionaires, mix in Freddie Threepwood, Beach the Butler and the gardener McAllister, and the moon is full indeed.
