Full Moon

`You don`t analyse such sunlit perfection, you just bask in its warmth and splendour.` Stephen FryWhen the moon is full at Blandings, strange things happen: among them the painting 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.
