About this title

Synopsis

The mad Duke of Danstable is intent upon kidnapping the Empress of Brandings, Lord Einsworth's pet pig, and his lordship calls upon Pongo Twistleton's Uncle Fred to save the bacon

From the Back Cover

A Blandings novel

Uncle Fred is one of the hottest earls that ever donned a coronet. Or as he crisply said, ‘there are no limits, literally none, to what I can achieve in the springtime.’

Even so, his gifts are stretched to the limit when he is urged by Lord Emsworth to save his prize pig, the Empress of Blandings, from the enforced slimming cure of the haughty Duke of Dunstable. Pongo Twistleton knows his debonair but wild uncle shouldn’t really be allowed at large – especially when disguised as a brain surgeon. He fears the worst. And his fears are amply justified.
