Publisher's Synopsis
Will Lord Emsworth's beloved Empress of Blandings win the Fat Pigs class at the Shropshire Show for the third year running? Galahad Threepwood and Beach the butler, confident in her past record, have staked their shirts on this. However, an extremely rotund obstacle is planted firmly in the middle of this porcine path to glory: Queen of Matchingham, the new sow of Sir Gregory Parsloe-Parsloe, long-time rival of Lord Emsworth. Galahad knows there's nothing else for it: this pretender to the crown must be pignapped. But can the Empress be kept from falling victim to a similar fate?
