Summary:
Tomado de la tapa "In this dreamy countryside lies Blandings Castle, seat of the ninth Earl of Emsworth. The apple of Lord Emsworth's eye is the Empress of Blanding, a splendid Berkshire sow who has twice won honor in the Fat Pigs class at the local agricultural show. Besides keeping his pig in shape, Emsworth must deal with his sister's unbearable snobbery, his brother's crazy memoirs, and a rival pig whose bulk might dash the Empress's hopes of another medal. Throw in a few young lovers and you have yourself a perfect brew of hilarious adventures. Evelyn Waugh once said, ‘The gardens of Blandings Castle are that original garden from which we are all exiled. All those who know them long to return’ And return we shall."
