BLANDINGS CASTLE: ... AND ELSEWHERE
Book ID/图书代码： 11701213B64890
English Summary/英文概要： This is a Blandings collection. The ivied walls of Blandings Castle have seldom glowed as sunnily as in these wonderful stories - but there are snakes in the rolling parkland ready to nip Clarence, the absent-minded Ninth Earl of Emsworth, when he least expects it. For a start the Empress of Blandings, in the running for her first prize in the Fat Pigs Class at the Shropshire Agricultural Show, is off her food - and can only be coaxed back to the trough by a call in her own language. Then there is the feud with Head Gardener McAllister, aided by Clarence’s sister, the terrifying Lady Constance, and the horrible prospect of the summer fete - twin problems solved by the arrival of a delightfully rebellious little girl from London. But first of all there is the vexed matter of the custody of the pumpkin. Skipping an ocean and a continent, Wodehouse also treats us to some unputdownable stories of excess from the monstrous Golden Age of Hollywood.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 布兰丁城堡的常春藤墙难得在这些精彩故事中熠熠发光，但在连绵起伏的邸园开阔草地上正有东西要对克拉伦斯伺机而动，那正是心不在焉的埃姆沃斯伯爵始料未及的。
首先，在什罗浦郡农产品展示会上，布兰丁城堡的皇后在飞猪类赛跑比赛中失利了，现在只能用动物的语言来诱哄它回饲料槽。加之与园丁头麦卡利斯特的不和，在克拉伦斯妹妹，可怕的康斯坦斯夫人的帮助下，这场夏日宴游的不详气氛，着两个问题都因来自伦敦的活泼小女孩的到来而迎刃而解了。但令人挠头的是南瓜的保管问题。穿越时间和空间，伍德豪斯还为我们讲述了一些好莱坞可怕的黄金时代下有趣而又荒诞的故事。(Sandy)
