Sunset At Blandings

'For Wodehouse there has been no fall of Man ... the gardens of Blandings Castle are the original gardens of Eden from which we are all exiled' - Evelyn Waugh Sunset at Blandings is Wodehouse's last, unfinished chronicle of Blandings and includes a treasure trove of detailed notes on the final stages of the plot, enabling us to watch over his shoulder to observe the Master at work. The revels at Blandings Castle are now ended but, as Richard Usborne confirms delightedly, its cloud-capped towers shall not dissolve. Although written when Wodehouse was ninety-three, the pages of Sunset at Blandings remain 'funny, fresh, young in heart and full of hammocks, sunshine and four pairs of lovers headed for altars'.
