Blandings Castle ... and Elsewhere by P.G. Wodehouse
2.0
This book contains six stories about Blandings Castle and its inhabitants, one story set in Skeldings Hall, and five stories about Hollywood. I quite enjoyed the Blandings stories, but Wodehouse writing about Hollywood in the Prohibition era doesn't seem to hit the spot for me.
While all the stories in the book are of course dated, the Blandings stories seem agreeably dated, whereas the Hollywood stories seem to me less agreeably dated. I wonder whether American readers would experience a mirror image of my reactions.
