Product Description

Product Description

The moon beams down on Blandings Castle and sleep eludes the nervous Clarence, ninth Earl of Emsworth, compelled to play host to his younger son, Freddie. Lady Hermione Wedge, her beautiful daughter Veronica and a chap called Tipton Plimsoll, all add to Clarence's difficult situation.


From the Publisher

Had his only contribution to literature been Lord Emsworth and Blandings Castle, his place in history would have been assured. Had he written of none but Mike and Psmith, he would be cherished today as the best and brightest of our comic authors. If Jeeves and Wooster had been his solitary theme, still he would be hailed as The Master. If he had given us only Ukridge, or nothing but recollections of the Mulliner family, or a pure diet of golfing stories, Wodehouse would nonetheless be considered immortal. That he gave us all those and more - so much more - is our good fortune and a testament to the most industrious, prolific and beneficent author ever to have sat down, scratched his head and banged out a sentence.' Stephen Fry --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Full Marks for the Light Side of the Moon, 24 Feb 2008
This review is from: Full Moon (Hardcover)
`Full Moon' is a Wodehouse novel set at his own Garden of Eden, Blandings Castle. We last entered Blandings with `Uncle Fred in the Springtime' and although Uncle Fred is not present his understudy The Honourable Galahad is in residence along with The Honourable Freddie whom is amiably if not ably assisting him in bringing to a happy conclusion the courtship of his cousins Prudence and Veronica to Bill `Blister' Lister and Tipton Plimsoll respectively.

As ever complications come in the way of Lord Emsworth's inability to grasp or remember anything which is further mixed up by Blisters appearance under not one but three assumed names. The difficulties mount until Wodehouse and Gally pull the hug out from under them with there usual deft touch.

As well as true love the winners here are the reader with priceless prose and dialogue such as an interview between Gally and Lady Hermione on the first arrival of Blister, `Is he wanted by the Police?', `No, he is not wanted by the Police.', `How I sympathize with the Police, I know just how they feel'.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Pig in a Poke, 23 Oct 2001
By A Customer
I love Wodehouse generally, and the Blandings stories are marvellous fun (although I agree with the other reviewer that they become formulaic and predictable after a bit). My gripe (hence the one star) is that you never know which particular stories you are acquiring when you buy one of the many titles on offer here. I really do think it is downright dishonest when you can buy one anthology of stories - presumably cobbled together by the publishers rather than Wodehouse himself - and find many of the same stories you read in other titles. A contents list would be the absolute minimum standard I would have thought. This is naked greed, pure and simple, and quite unacceptable. It is also very shabby that you can buy a book, ostensibly of Blandings tales, and find that many of the stories it contains have nothing at all to do with Blandings.

3.0 out of 5 stars One of the best Blandings books, 22 May 2001
By A Customer
Although this is very similar to every Blandings book, it does outdo the others for plain inventiveness. There are some hints of a sort of "Blandings by numbers" plot, and Lady Hermione does seem a lot like Lady Constance at times, but despite this, it is a very funny, albeit light-weight read.
