A collection of the usual suspects---Lord Emsworth, Mr. Mulliner, the Oldest Member, Ukridge---although not Wooster and Jeeves. What could be bad. ( )

Lord Emsworth versus The Efficient Baxter is the funniest conflict in all of English Literature. ( )
  twistgirl | Sep 26, 2009 |
Lord Emsworth and Others features a Blandings novelette, plus short stories involving Mr Mulliner, the Oldest Member, the Drones Club, and Ukridge. The Crime Wave at Blandings is by far the best and funniest of them. Lord Emsworth's unfortunate ex-secretary becomes the target of the crime wave in question, and we glimpse a previously unseen side of Lady Constance's character. The other stories are average for their respective series but, of course, P.G. Wodehouse's average is amusing and entertaining and well worth idling away a little time on. ( )
