Summer Lightning
Penguin Main Series 995. 1st Edition, published 1954.
'I like that young man. He is sound on pigs. He has his head screwed on the right way.'
The Empress of Blandings, prize-winning pig and all-consuming passion of Clarence, Ninth Earl of Emsworth, has disappeared.
Blandings Castle is in uproar and there are suspects a-plenty - from the scandalous memoirist Galahad Threepwood to the Efficient Baxter, and the chilling former secretary to Lord Emsworth. Even Beach the Butler seems deeply embroiled. And what of Sir Gregory Parsloe-Parsloe, Clarence's arch-rival and neighbour, whose own pig competes with the Empress for local glory?
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.
