About this title: This book is a Blandings novel. When the moon is full at Blandings, strange things happen: among them the painting 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 ...

"A fun Blandings Castle Wodehouse that takes place after Pigs Have Wings (another fun one starring many of the same cast-members). It was silly, cheeky, had signature Wodehouse fantastically quick and funny dialogue. The perfect thing to distract me."
"Funny at times, but not enough to keep me interested. There is only so many times two people who "love" each other can misinterpret and completely confuse simple situations. About the 4th time, I was ready to rip my hair out. Instead, I just returned the book to the library."
"Ah, P.G. Wodehouse is good for the soul. Helps you take life less seriously. I got interrupted in my reading a little more than I'd like with this book, but still had a lot of fun. Brought me back to my younger years when my whole family would take Wodehouse on family vacations and read them and swap them around. There aren't a lot of books out there that make me laugh out loud, but Wodehouse does. If you're new to Wodehouse this probably isn't a starter book. It doesn't really matter, but there are characters from previous books and if you know them already it is funnier."
