''Lord Emsworth and Others'' is a collection of nine short stories by P. G. Wodehouse, first published in the United Kingdom on March 19, 1937 by Herbert Jenkins, London; it was not published in the United States.〔McIlvaine, E., Sherby, L.S. and Heineman, J.H. (1990) ''P.G. Wodehouse: A comprehensive bibliography and checklist''. New York: James H. Heineman, pp. 72-73. ISBN 087008125X〕 ''The Crime Wave at Blandings'', which was published on 25 June 1937〔 by Doubleday, Doran, New York, is a very different collection, sharing only three of its seven titles with the UK book. Penguin Books published a UK edition of ''The Crime Wave at Blandings'' in 1966. The stories in both books had all previously appeared in both British and American magazines. ''Lord Emsworth and Others'' contains one story set at Blandings Castle, three golf stories narrated by the Oldest Member, one story featuring Drones Club member Freddie Widgeon, one tale narrated by Mr Mulliner, and three Ukridge stories. ''The Crime Wave at Blandings'' contains the Blandings, Mulliner and Freddie Widgeon stories, to which were added two more Drones stories, a Bingo Little story, and a novella, "The Medicine Girl", which had been published separately in the UK as ''Doctor Sally'' (1932). ==Contents== # "The Crime Wave at Blandings" (Blandings Castle) # * US: ''Saturday Evening Post'', October 10 & October 17, 1936 # * UK: ''Strand'', January 1937 # "Buried Treasure" (Mr Mulliner) # * UK: ''Strand'', September 1936 # * US: ''This Week'', September 27, 1936 (as "Hidden Treasure") # "The Letter of the Law" (Oldest Member golf) # * US: ''Red Book'', February 1936 (as "A Triple Threat Man") # * UK: ''Strand'', April 1936 # "Farewell to Legs" (Oldest Member golf) # * US: ''This Week'', July 14, 1935 # * UK: ''Strand'', May 1936 # "There's Always Golf" (Oldest Member golf) # * UK: ''Strand'', March 1936 # * US: ''Red Book'', April 1936 (as "Not Out of Distance") # "The Masked Troubadour" (Drone Freddie Widgeon) # * US: ''Saturday Evening Post'', November 28, 1936 (as "Reggie and the Greasy Bird", with different setting & characters) # * UK: ''Strand'', December 1936 # "Ukridge and the Home from Home" (Ukridge) # * US: ''Cosmopolitan'', February 1931 # * UK: ''Strand'', June 1931 # "The Come-back of Battling Billson" (Ukridge) # * US: ''Cosmopolitan'', June 1935 # * UK: ''Strand'', July 1935 # "The Level Business Head" (Ukridge) # * US: ''Liberty'' May 8, 1926 # * UK: ''Strand'', May 1926 The three Oldest Member stories had already appeared in the US edition of ''Young Men in Spats'' (1936); the three Ukridge stories were included in the US edition of ''Eggs, Beans and Crumpets'' (1940).
