Interpretation In Favor Of Books Lord Emsworth and Others (Blandings Castle #5.5)

I doubt I've ever seen more mileage gotten out of an air rifle!

P.G. Wodehouse is a master at squeezing the most out of a very little bit. The reader of even a handful of his stories gets a sense of deja vu, but since those stories are always light, airy and full of fun, that's not such a bad thing.

In this collection of stories, based around a few of Wodehouse's recurring characters, it's the title story that struck a hilarious blow to my funny bone. Lord Emsworth is a hopelessly doddering old duffer with the tiniest bit of spark left in him, just enough left to make you love the old fellow.

A chunky section in the middle of the book is filled with a slew of Wodehouse golf-based one-offs, which are fine. I prefer his Blandings Castle work or the Jeeves and Wooster material, but the golf stuff has its moments, especially if you like the game. The remainder of the book is rounded out with tales of Ukridge, his overly confident ne'er-do-well character who never notices that he never does well. I wasn't a huge Ukridge fan, but these few stories revolving around his costly shenanigans actually improved my opinion of him.

All in all, Lord Emsworth and Others bounced between 3 and 4 stars, a respectable rating. Though, I would not suggest the uninitiated embark upon Wodehouse with this collection.

Criticize Out Of Books Lord Emsworth and Others (Blandings Castle #5.5)

I listened to the audio book by Nigel Lambert. He did a great job; I'll even search his stuff out. But I still hear Jonathan Cecil when I think of Wodehouse.The draw here is the main story, as most of the rest are included in other PGW collections. This particular one was dramatized in the UK's "Blandings" series. It's so much better here! There they squeezed into a 30 min episode, but here it breathes as it must.

I only remember the title story, "Crime Wave at Blandings", where an air-gun confiscated from an errant kid inspires the sportsman in everyone - including Lord Emsworth.

Witty. Some stories were kind of like mysteries - narrator dangles a resolution in front of you and you had to work backward with him to figure out what is going on or happened. First Wodehouse of many Im sure.

Collection of short stories including the extremely funny "The Crime Wave at Blandings". I also enjoyed the three golf stories and the three featuring Ukridge and found even the Mulliner and the Drones stories to be well worth reading.

Lord Emsworth is my favourite Wodehouse character creation and I wasnt disappointed with the opening story that features the earl fooling around with an airgun and growing anxious because of the unexpected visit from Rupert Baxter.As for The Others, I found these a mixed bag. Two of the golf stories were quite funny, but one went into such in-depth detail on the game of golf therefore, blinding me with terminology that Im clueless about that I skipped the story.The Mr Mulliner story was quite
