Wodehouse (1881-1975). This time, Frederick Altamont Cornwallis Twistleton, Fifth Earl of Ickenham, better known as Uncle Fred, at the request of Lord Emsworth, journeys to Blandings Castle to steal the prize pig the Empress of Blandings before the ill-tempered, egg-throwing Duke of Dunstable can lay claim to her. Uncle Fred sets out masquerading as a famous brain specialist Sir Roderick Glossop, with his distressed nephew Pongo in tow. Uncle Fred must not only steal the pig but also diagnose various members of the upper class with imaginary mental illnesses as well as reunite a young couple, all before Uncle Fred’s domineering wife realizes he’s done a runner from their country estate.
