Clarence, ninth Earl of Emsworth, sank back in his chair looking like the good old man in a Victorian melodrama whose mortgage the villain has just foreclosed. he felt the absence of that gentle glow which customarily accompanied the departure of one of his sisters. His brain worked at a speed consistent with the approach of danger, Lord Emsworth needed Galahad.

For a while it is touch and go. There are tricky corners to be rounded, and assorted godsons, impostors and pretty girls to be paired off. Fortunately, many years' membership of the old Pelican Club means the Hon. Galahad Threepwood is able to keep cool, stiffen his upper lip and always think a shade quicker than the next man.

Nigel Lambert does a very good job narrating this Blandings Castle entry. Plus it has a lot of Galahad :) ( )

I didn't find Frederick Davidson's narration to be quite as good as Jonathan Cecil's reading of Wodehouse. I did appreciate his snorts and "hrmphs" as the Duke of Dunstable. This 11th entry in the Blandings castle was still a lot of fun if you like Wodehouse's brand of craziness! ( )

Who doesn't like Wodehouse? It's situational and narrative humor at its best. But you really have to be in the mood for it, and even then, I'll go so far as to say Wodehouse is best consumed in short story form. It's hard enough to sustain the humor for a novel length book at Wodehouse's madcap pace, but it's been harder to sustain the laughs. After a few chapters a reader can become inured to the comedy, and start to feel a bit numb, especially when character development is necessarily thin-to-non-existent, and the plotting not much more complex than the characters. This isn't a criticism; humor succeeds where both are pushed to the background.

Short or long length though, Wodehouse is a genius. ( )

Here we have another enjoyable visit to Blandings Castle.

Lord Emsworth yet again confirms his place as my favourite Wodehouse character. The Duke of Dunstable is also highly entertaining, albeit nowhere near as likable as the earl.

Although not the funniest in the series, “Pelican” has enough humour for my tastes. Bless my soul, it does.

Expect plenty of mishaps and misunderstandings, plus a couple of complicated love stories, and Lord Emsworth’s usual obsession with his pig.

A capital read. Capital, yes, capital, capital. ( )

Clarence was having a lovely time by himself at Blandings, but then Lady Constance returns from America and brings several house guests to stay for the summer. Galahad is needed to keep the peace and solve the many problems, which he does with reference to experiences at his old club in London. ( )

The summer day was drawing to a close and dusk had fallen on Blandings Castle, shrouding from view the ancient battlements, dulling the silver surface of the lake and causing Lord Emworth's supreme Berkshire sow Empress of Blandings to leave the open air portion of her sty and withdraw into the covered shed where she did her sleeping.
