he would say that the absent-minded, hen-pecked, all-for-a-quiet life, Lord Emsworth (of Blandings fame) was his nearest alter ego

"Crime Wave at Blandings"* and "Lord Emsworth and the Girl Friend" are my favorite - or "favourite" - Wodehouse short stories.

I find the Blandings Stories more interesting than the Jeeves and Wooster stories, though I love J and W dearly. All of his stories are charming and fun.

Haven’t had the heart to read Sunset and Blandings though.

Long Live the Empress of Blandings!
