Summer Lightning
Penguin Main Series 995. 1st Edition, published 1954.
The Honourable Galahad Threepwood has decided to write his memoirs and England's aristocrats are all diving for cover, not least Galahad's formidable sister Lady Constance Keeble who fears that her brother will ruin the family reputation with saucy stories of the 1890s. But Galahad's memoirs are not the only cause for concern. Yet again Lord Emsworth's prize pig has been stolen and, as usual, the castle seems to be buzzing with imposters all pretending to be one another. Love and natural justice triumph in the end, but not before Wodehouse has tangled and unangled a plot of Shakespearean complexity in a novel which might as well be subtitled 'The Price of the Papers'.
Condition grading: Good Minus. Minor damage to bottom of spine. Red pencil lines to right edge of front cover. Minor creases to right hand front cover corners. Tippex mark to top right corner of rear cover. Light crease to bottom left corner of rear cover. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
