Book Description
A collection of stories in which familiar characters and places are reintroduced in unfamiliar circumstances, reminding us - if we need reminding - of their author's limitless powers of comic invention. In the title story - one of Wodehouse's longest and best shorter fictions - Lord Emsworth takes his revenge on his ghastly secretary, the Efficient Baxter, setting off a wave of similar reprisals at Blandings Castle with amazing results. In other tales we meet several members of the Drones Club, while the final three reunite us with the ineffable Ukridge, more of whose ever-optimistic schemes for making easy money come to grief. A delightful meeting with old friends for some readers, a superb introduction to the world of Wodehouse for others.

Book Description
Emsworth has a unique character. The marketplace at the centre of the town is a reminder of Emsworth's beginnings: as a small hamlet with a weekly market to serve the needs of farmers. It later developed as a centre for milling, fishing, shipbuilding and coastal trade. By the 18th century Emsworth was a thriving port. This highly readable account shows how the harbour helped to shape and define the community. Generations of Emsworth families earned their livings as fishermen, boat builders, sail and rope makers, or as seamen on vessels engaged in trade. The Emsworth oyster had national renown for its flavour during the 19th century. Emsworth's heritage is still in evidence: mill buildings have been converted to new uses and the two millponds have been preserved. Efforts are being made to restore the Terror, an Emsworth fishing boat built in the 19th century. This fascinating account of Emsworth's past is enhanced by a wide selection of superb illustrations, and will interest all those who live in and love the area.
