Full Moon – A Madcap Romp at Blandings Castle

No one does comic chaos quite like P.G. Wodehouse, and Full Moon is a masterclass in mischief, mistaken identities, and madcap romance at the inimitable Blandings Castle.

Colonel Wedge, dreading a stay at the eccentric Earl of Emsworth’s grand but haphazard estate, is given a glimmer of hope when rich young American Tipton Plimsoll arrives. Seeing in Tipton a potential match for his daughter Veronica—a stunning beauty, albeit not the sharpest tool in the shed—the Colonel is convinced that romance is in the air.

But, as is tradition at Blandings, things quickly spiral into delightful disaster. Tipton, a jealous lover, discovers that his beloved once had an engagement with the Earl’s hapless son, Freddie Threepwood. Meanwhile, the Earl’s niece, Prudence, is forcibly separated from her true love, the struggling but determined Bill Lister. Enter Uncle Gally (Galahad Threepwood), the family’s resident schemer, who concocts a brilliant plan to set everything right.

Naturally, nothing goes according to plan. Instead, hilarious misunderstandings, secret plots, and unexpected twists culminate in a domestic and social upheaval of epic proportions—one that is pure Wodehouse magic.

With its sharp wit, eccentric characters, and an utterly charming storyline, Full Moon is a joyous romp through the world of Blandings Castle—a must-read for fans of classic British humor and farcical fiction.
