True Confessions of Adrian Mole: Margaret Hilda Roberts and Susan Lilian Townsend
True Confessions of Adrian Mole: Margaret Hilda Roberts and Susan Lilian Townsend | Sue Townsend

'Wonderfully funny and sharp as knives' Sunday Times In the third instalment of the hilarious Adrian Mole series, 16-year-old Adrian navigates his way into adulthood . . . Monday June 13th I had a good, proper look at myself in the mirror tonight. I've always wanted to look clever, but at the age of twenty years and three months I have to admit that I look like a person who has never even heard of Jung or Updike. Adrian Mole is an adult. At least that's what it says on his passport. But living at home, clinging to his threadbare cuddly rabbit 'Pinky', working as a paper pusher for the DoE and pining for the love of his life, Pandora, has proved to him that adulthood isn't quite what he expected. Still, without the slings and arrows of modern life what else would an intellectual poet have to write about . . .__________ 'Essential reading for Mole followers' Times Educational Supplement 'Townsend has held a mirror up to the nation and made us happy to laugh at what we see in it' Sunday Telegraph'The funniest person in the world' Caitlin Moran

My final bk of 2020 as I am mid chunkster at mo. A miscellany of writing by a much missed author whose thoughts on brexit + covid wd have been distracting. Here we have some of adrian, a lovely diary of her trip to Russia with writers incl Alan Bennett and why she loves England, and a mischievous Margaret thatcher teenage diary. If I don't post again before 2021 I'm sending my early wishes to everyone on litsy for a healthy and happy new year.

TrishB My hubby loves these, always read them when down. 4y

Bit of a pointless book I fear. Just lots of assorted random contributions. I felt this book was thrown together for the sake of it. Glad it was only short and I didn't use much time on it. Back to the far more suitable fourth book in the series!
