Recommended age: 14 – 16; 16 – 18; Adult
Lord Emsworth is the absent-minded lord of Emsworth Castle, and he is surrounded by domineering sisters who try to make him act his role as Lord of the Manor, and who bring their daughters or sons to Blandings to keep them from getting married to people who don’t have money. In the Blandings Stories Lord Emsworth, with the help of the young lovers (or in one case, a twelve-year-old girl) eventually stands up to his sisters (or his gardener) and helps the young lovers get reunited. In the Hollywood Series, young love survives despite the temptations and trials of life around the silver screen.
