Mine's The Crime Wave at Blandings. Who would have thought an air rifle could cause so much trouble?

'Crime Wave at Blandings' is definently the best Blandings short story but my favorite overall would have to be 'Romance at Droitgate Spa' from 'Eggs, Beans and Crumpets'.

The Magicial, Mortimer Rackstraw, is absolutly fantastic and his final flourish is the best ending of any short story or possibly that should just be of any story.

My favorite is "Jeeves and The Song of Songs" where Tuppy Glossop has fallen in love with the opera singer, who is,"...in shape, a bit on the lines of the Albert Hall."

My favourite short story - "Honeysuckle Cottage", a Mr Mulliner story.

I don't think I've read that one. Which book is that story in?

It's in "Meet Mr. Mulliner", a collection of nine short stories published in 1927.

I have Meet Mr. Mulliner so I guess I must have read it. Perhaps it's time I re-read it.

"The Clicking of Cuthbert." The Russian Wodehouse Society, which, indeed, exists, probably loves this one, and, thanks to Sir Plum's good nature, for the right reasons. This story, about a Russian golfer on a British course, is not a snide bit of stereotyping, but a bit of SEEMINGLY snide stereotyping. Light, effortless and masterful. Wodehouse in peak form.Clicking of Cuthbert

Even though I find televised golf boring and have no desire to play, I really enjoy Wodehouse's golf stories. That's always one of my selling points when I try to get people to read Wodehouse: He makes golf fun to read about.

I love the mad plots of the Mulliner stories. The one that comes to mind now is "The Code of the Mulliners" - young man happens to spy his mother performing the most bizarre facial contortions, concludes that she's gone loopy, and spends the rest of the story nobly trying to lose favor with his fiance so that she'll break their engagement, thus saving her from marrying into a family with a history of insanity. His every scheme to this end has the opposite of the desired effect, naturally. Includes one of my favorite Wodehouse scenes, where young Mulliner tries insulting the girl's bore of an uncle in the middle of his "rhinoceros" story (spoiler: even this brave effort spectacularly fails to lose him any favor with anyone).

I have to agree with Seth, Goodbye to all cats is one of the funniest things I've ever read. The line the father says to his daughter when he meets her young man, "Who's the half-wit?" Will be the model upon which I hope to base my relationship with the young men that come around after my daughters.
