Uncle Fred in the Springtime
Lord Ickenham, kept in the country by a family that has seen what he does when let loose in London, arrives at Blandings passing himself off as a brain specialist, with his appalled nephew and a card sharp in support. A duke has designs on the Empress, the nephew needs money badly, and the genuine specialist is expected off the next train. The first meeting of the two funniest inventions in the books, the reckless uncle and the immovable castle.
