Representaion In Pursuance Of Books Uncle Fred in the Springtime (Uncle Fred #1)

Oh my goodness, what in the dickens is going on now? Impostors, you say? At Blandings Castle, you say? Well, you don't say!

Lord Ickenham, aka Uncle Fred is at it again. The OCC (original cool cucumber) has cooked up another improbable scheme to make all well again in a world in which he loves her, she loves him, Father A doesn't approve, Father B doesn't approve, Young Gadabout A needs a bit of the ready cash, and so does Young Gadabout B. Who better to tie these things all together than Uncle Fred?

Wodehouse juggles plots with dizzying skill. I did a rough count and Uncle Fred in the Springtime contains approximately a bucketload of characters. Every character's got an agenda and they all compete with and against one another simultaneously. Sometimes the plot lines are silly, sometimes skillful, and sometimes they leave you wondering, "What? Who? Where?" in the most delightful way. It's like a murder mystery in which no one gets murdered...not too seriously at any rate.

Write Up Containing Books Uncle Fred in the Springtime (Uncle Fred #1)

Probably my favorite Blandings book (though Something Fresh is a close second). The scene where Uncle Fred impersonates Sir Roderick Glossop in the interview with Horace Davenport is in itself worth the price of admission.

A twisty farce written in 1939. Very English. Very dated. Included a brief blackface scene that was totally gratuitous. Later in the book is a positive reference to Jesse Owens. Hilarious dialogue.

Written in 1939 and maybe because of the encroaching war,this story lacked the sparkle and joie-de-vivre of other Wodehouse books. I found it hard to get into and it failed to hold my attention for long. Having said that, any Wodehouse book is always a good and enjoyable read but this is not one of the better ones.

Uncle Fred is my favorite Wodehouse character.

The conversations and descriptions really make one laugh out loud, and the overall 'Englishness' is incomparable, but, the plot twists were becoming a little predictable.
