Publisher's Summary

The one thing that could be expected to disturb the peace of life at Blandings is the incursion of imposters. And Blandings has imposters like other houses have mice. On this occasion, there are two of them: both intent on a dangerous enterprise.

Just like a snowball, only different

Imagine a snowball cascading down a slope of snow. As it continues, it's gets bigger and bigger. Calamity is drawing nearer, and the consequences get worse. This is PG Wodehouse. And this is this story plot to a T.

It's the kind of story that has drama at every turn, and the plot just thickens. The characters are perfect, and the atmosphere is accurate. And just a like a snowball, the plot just gets bigger and bigger, calamity draws nearer, and the consequences get worse.

And the ending? Well that's a perfect authors twist.

Take heed and listen to it, and be sure to stay on your guard. You may easily miss out on important details....

Fantastic Frolicking Fun

Full of overblown characters and unlikely plots which build up so beautifully that you are left in stitches with tears rolling down your face. So funny, so well written, so joyous.
