Galahad is writing his memoirs, but will he upset all of his high-society friends in the process?

The setting is the glorious Blandings castle, where Galahad Threepwood is trying to write his memoirs, which may well upset a few of his friends, whose youthful indiscretions he plans on exposing. A host of colourful and relatively ridiculous characters make this a farcical lot of joyful nonsense which gets funnier as the plot progresses, encompassing hidden love affairs, pig stealing, exclamations galore and 'trouble in paradise' as it were...masterfully read by Martin Jarvis, a life-long fan of the genius of Wodehouse.

      When Lord Emsworth asks Galahad Threepwood to Blandings Castle to help him deal with a host of unwanted guests, Galahad finds burglary and matchmaking among his assignments. Listeners will hear the smile in Martin Jarvis's voice as he delivers Wodehouse's combination of oddball dialogue and odder situations. Jarvis narrates with a calm, dry wit that belies the frenetic events, while providing appropriate voices that convey the befuddlement, snobbery, obnoxiousness, or deviousness of Wodehouse's broad characters. Wodehouse's most famous characters are nowhere to be found, but his usual cases of mistaken identity, miscommunication, and petty concerns appear in full force. With Jarvis's reliable reading, Wodehouse fans won't miss Jeeves and Wooster. J.A.S. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
