1 post | 2 read | 2 to read
If headmasters were honest a prospectus would be a book which sa how many kanes he hav, contane a warning about the skool dog and the amount of prunes and rice served during the term. Nigel Molesworth may not be the best student St Custard's will ever have, but he is certainly able to express his feelings about his beloved school - not to mention botany walks and foopball. With his handy guide to Masters at a Glance (Know the Enemy) and Lessons (chiz chiz) and How to Avoid Them, no noble brave fearless etc. boy will ever have to suffer at the hands of the 'swots, bulies, milksops greedy guts and oiks' ever again WIZZ.

First of the immortal Molesworth tetralogy as any fule kno. I must have been 9 or 10 when I first read this, and though I've read it countless times in the intervening half-century it still makes me snort with laughter and there are bits I had forgotten among the chunks I recall perfectly. A perfect marriage of comic writing and drawing.
