The seventh novel in the Blandings series highlights a fierce competition in the pig-rearing arena between Lord Emsworth and his neighbor Sir Gregory Parsloe-Parsloe.  The pigs in question – the Empress of Blandings and the Queen of Matchingham – are both snatched by the opposing sides before finally ending up with their rightful owners by the end of the novel.  The story was adapted for the Blandings radio series and aired on BBC Radio 4 in 1989.
