Emsworth's annotations throughout. "The tusker came down like a wolf on the fold ~ His ivories were gleaming like silver and gold".~ "It is good news for fans of P.G. Wodehouse that James Hogg happened upon Lord Emsworth's personal copy of The Care of the Pig by Augustus Whiffle and took it upon himself to edit it down to a manageable size. Pigs are of course a subject to be treated with the utmost seriousness and, in the case of this volume, with something akin to reverence. Happily, James Hogg is never less than scrupulous in ensuring that weighty matters, such as the Irish method of persuading pigs up a gangplank (which is to drive them in the opposite direction), are carefully recorded for the general reader. Lord Emsworth's marginal scribbles are also included and record such intimacies as his heartfelt praise of the Empress of Blandings, his champion sow, for restoring sanity to the disordered world of Blandings Castle. This book will be welcomed by lovers both of PG. Wodehouse and of pigs. James Hogg was educated at Eton and is a television journalist who has reported for 24 Hours, Nationwide and Newsnight. He has contributed to Country Living and Jazz Express. He lives in Hertfordshire.".
