Lord Emsworth and Others is a collection of nine short stories by P. G. Wodehouse, first published in the United Kingdom on 19 March 1937 by Herbert Jenkins, London; it was not published in the United States.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).
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). The three short stories which replaced them in The Crime Wave at Blandings were "Tried in the Furnace" (from the UK edition of Young Men in Spats), and "All's Well With Bingo" and "Romance at Droitgate Spa" (both of which appeared in the UK edition of Eggs, Beans and Crumpets).
