Publisher's Synopsis
Lord Emsworth has commissioned an official portrait of his most dearly beloved - the Empress of Blandings, twice silver medal winner of the Fat Pigs class at the Shropshire Agricultural Show. However, the man who arrives to take on the job is not the celebrated artist he claims to be, but Galahad's godson Bill Lister. Smuggled into the castle by an old pal in order that he may elope with Prudence Garland, Bill finds himself somewhat out of his depth when it comes to porcine paintings. And mayhem rules as a valuable diamond necklace is juggled about all over the place...
