Sinossi
Castello di Blandings, atto terzo: l’irresistibile vaudeville arriva al suo apice. Sul palcoscenico più sorprendente della uggiosa e compassata campagna inglese sta per scrosciare un altro temporale di comicità. Nuovi personaggi vanno ad aggiungersi al gruppo di pigri ma imprevedibili individui che già abitano l’austera magione, e con essi si sfiorano, s’incrociano e s’incocciano, congiurando per il nostro inesauribile divertimento. E zio Fred? Be’, lui, ha una buona parola per tutti: per suo fratello Lord Emsworth, che più degli ispettori delle tasse teme i rapitori di maiali; per suo nipote George Bosham, in assoluto uno dei massimi esempi di cristallina stupidità; per gli innamorati delusi, per i pokeristi indebitati e anche per l’Imperatrice di Blandings, la sontuosa scrofa da competizione bisognosa di una dieta equilibrata e di un po’ di sana ginnastica.

I eventually had to stop because while I loved them I couldn't remember if I'd read Carry On, Jeeves but not Right Ho, Jeeves . And since all the plots inv Leggi tutto

Uncle Fred is a worthy pal of Galahad Threepwood's. Similis simili gaudet. And I can never never listen to Loch Lomond with the same ears again. This has been a delightful Wodehouse adventure, very well narrated by Jonathan Cecil..
Uncle Fred in the springtime gets itchy for adventure, especially in the name of bringing two loving hearts together. He is not above impersonation, conning, burglary, and lying through his teeth, all in the name of a good cause, of course, and in the stead of the rather clueless youngsters. All of
