Empress of Blandings is a fictional pig, featured in many of the Blandings Castle novels and stories by P. G. Wodehouse. Owned by the doting Lord Emsworth, the Empress is an enormous black Berkshire sow, who wins many prizes in the "Fat Pigs" class at the local Shropshire Agricultural Show, and is the subject of many plots and schemes, generally involving her kidnap for various purposes. In 2005 Hall & Woodhouse, the Dorset-based Brewers of Badger beer, named a public house in Hampshire in honour of the Empress. == Appearances == Once the pig bug has taken hold of her master, the Empress becomes a regular feature in the Blandings books, playing some part in most of the subsequent stories: * "Pig-hoo-o-o-o-ey" (1927, included in ''Blandings Castle and Elsewhere'', 1935) * ''Summer Lightning'' (1929) * ''Heavy Weather'' (1933) * ''Uncle Fred in the Springtime'' (1939) * ''Full Moon'' (1947) * ''Pigs Have Wings'' (1952) * ''Service With a Smile'' (1961) * ''Galahad at Blandings'' (1965) * ''A Pelican at Blandings'' (1969) * ''Sunset at Blandings'' (1977) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Empress of Blandings」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
