The moon beamed down genially on the turrets and battlements of Blandings Castle. Sleep, however, eluded Clarence, ninth Earl of Emsworth. To be compelled to play host to his younger son, Freddie, was enough; add his sister Veronica and a chap called Tipton Plimsoll and you have a situation at which the doughtiest earl might quail…

Full Moon
Full Moon (1947) (Blandings Castle #7) is good, and a visit to Blandings Castle is always a joy.
Full Moon is not peak PGW though. All his books are formulaic but this is just a bit too obvious, and lacks sufficient hearty guffaw inducing moments.
American millionaire Tipton Plimsoll forsaking alcohol because he sees a ghastly, leering face whenever he drinks, is consistently funny though.
One for the completist, of which I am most definitely one, rather than the casual reader.
3/5
When the moon is full at Blandings, strange things happen: among them the commissioning of a portrait of The Empress, twice in succession winner in the Fat Pigs Class at the Shropshire Agricultural Show. What better choice of artist, in Lord Emsworth's opinion, than Landseer. The renowned painter of The Stag at Bay may have been dead for decades, but that doesn't prevent Galahad Threepwood from introducing him to the castle - or rather introducing Bill Lister, Gally's godson, so desperately in love with Prudence that he's determined to enter Blandings in yet another imposture. Add a gaggle of fearsome aunts, uncles and millionaires, mix in Freddie Threepwood, Beach the Butler and the gardener McAllister, and the moon is full indeed.
