One of the finest comedies ever written in Nazi captivity. Yes Wodehouse was nabbed by the Nazis when he was living in France and interned for quite a while. He was partway through Joy in the Morning, he left the manuscript in his wife's care, at the time. Never one to waste time when he could be writing, Wodehouse penned this enjoyable romp through the gardens of Blandings.
The book itself is very Wodehouse generally in a good way. There are laughs a plenty, if no major scene that is memorable. ...more

The first Blandings Castle novel to be published after WWII is pretty good, but it lacks the sparkle of all the preceding ones, as well as some of those that would follow. Freddie returns to Blandings for a visit in this one, and the astonishing thing is that, after several years in the U.S., he has developed into a very different character, almost sensible at times!
