Empress of Blandings, the black Berkshire sow owned by Lord Emsworth
in nine Blandings novels, introduced in Pig-Hoo-o-o-o-ey!. The
only pig that has ever won the silver medal in the Fat Pigs
class three years in succession at the eighty-seventh,
eighty-eighth, and eighty-ninth annual Shropshire Agricultural Show.
Resembles a captive balloon with ears and a tail. Her
keepers are variously George Cyril Wellbeloved,
Pirbright (last heard of in Canada), Edwin Pott
(retired into private life after winning a football pool), and
Monica Simmons (who elopes with Wilfred Allsop).
