Seventh novel set at Blandings Castle.
The absent minded Lord Emsworth finds himself once again embroiled in fierce rivalry in the pig-rearing arena with his neighbor,the obese baronet Sir Gregory Parsloe-Parsloe.With Emsworth's champion Empress of Blandings in line for a third straight victory in the local show and Parsloe bringing in a ringer,suspicions run high.Meanwhile,Blandings has its full complement of romantic entanglements. Fortunately,the ever-resourceful Gally is on hand to help out.With the Shropshire Agricultural Show pending,the activities of Sir Gregory Parsloe,owner of that massive porker,Pride of Matchingham,were viewed with the gravest misgiving by his rival,Lord Emsworth,whose Empress of Blandings had reigned supreme for so long in the Fat Pigs class.And with reason,for on previous occasions the unscrupulous baronet had made determined attempt to nobble Lord Emsworth's favorite.When, therefore,Sir Gregory's butler was known to have purchased for his master several bottles of the proven specific,Slimmo,it seemed obvious that dirty work was afoot.
How the epic contest was decided in an atmosphere already confused by the erratic course of young Penelope's love affair,and how that doyen of the butler's pantry-the venerable Beech-found an ally in Maudie Montrose,late of the Criterion bar,is related in this notable addition to the Emsworth saga.
