What better reading for a spring visit to the balmy country seat of the Sarlls, especially when the Moon is still pretty much full? It's the usual Blandings formula - star-crossed lovers, stern aunt, funny business involving the ancestral porker - and none the worse for that, though here the form is perhaps being refined to the point of decadence.

I am now adding this to my list of favorite books. Wodehouse is an amazing author, and I really loved reading this story. I look forward to reading even more great novels.
