"Blandings Castle, scene of many stories, is once again populated by irascible, forgetful, peevish, elderly
characters and their wandering, impulsive, ne'er-do-well young relatives.The usual misunderstandings
involving theft and young love put the castle in a constant humorous uproar."AudioFile

Clarence, ninth Earl of Emsworth, sank back in his chair looking like the good old man in a Victorian
melodrama whose mortgage the villain has just foreclosed. He felt the absence of that gentle glow which
customarily accompanied the departure of one of his sisters. His brain worked at a speed consistent with
the approach of danger Lord Emsworth needed Galahad.

For a while it is touch and go. There are tricky corners to be rounded, and assorted godsons, impostors
and pretty girls to be paired off. Fortunately, many years' membership of the old Pelican Club means the
Hon. Galahad Threepwood is able to keep cool, stiffen his upper lip and always think a shade quicker than
the next man.

A Pelican at Blandings takes the reader to Blandings Castle, where Lord Emsworth wishes only to commune
with his prize sow, the Empress of Blandings. Like other PGW characters with simple desires and satisfactions,
the Earl soon finds himself enmeshed in thorny problems involving fake portraits and unwanted sisters that only
his crony, the Honorable Galahad Threepwood, member of the doughty old Pelican Club, can untangle.
