Product Description
Product Description
You can t compete in famous outer space tournaments wearing heavy great clodhoppers like diver s boots. You ve got to be on your toes, darting about like a streak of lightning . Who would have thought that a Ping-Pong Championship of Outer Space could have caused so much trouble? Determined to play the monumental tournament, Jennings and Darbishire end up getting themselves in more of a mess than they could have imagined. Then, when Mr Wilkins attempts to clear out the school lost property cupboard go strangely awry, he does not have to look far to guess who the culprit is; Jennings, of course! Good wheeze!
About the Author
A generation ago, Anthony Buckeridge was the equivalent of J K Rowling. His schoolboy hero, Jennings, was as much the talk of ten-year-olds as Harry Potter is now. Anthony Buckeridge was a headmaster and worked in the Fire Service during the war before becoming a full-time writer. Jennings featured in stories he used to tell his pupils.

Jennings is just super spiffing stuff! And in this dawn of the space age story, Buckerdige gets into the mind of the prep school hero perfectly, as Jennings and Darbishire struggle to play ping pong in outer space (kind of!)
I loved Jennings as a child, and I am not so old that the language of the books was very dated when I read them! So don't let that put you off. Indeed I think the dated prep school slang of Jennings really adds to the charm of these books which refelct on a slice of life that we all might like to have back.
The books are often hilarious. I devoured this series first time around, borrowing books from friends who loved them too. Recently I have been buying up and completing my collection, and re-reading them from the start.
Highly recommended. Personally I preferred these to Just William and other such stories.

More wacky adventures with Jennings and his sidekick Darbishire - this time Jennings starts a train of events by trying to cut out of a school walk with Mr Wilkins - poor long-suffering Mr Wilkins gets a lot of chances in this book to splutter incoherently at the `stupid little boys'!
And Matron is tasked with finding a new cook, which leads to lots of complaints about the food (can't say I like the sound of cold fish fingers and boiled beetroot myself) and adventures until at the end of term when all things come right.
Lots of fun for those who fondly remember their childhood reading Jennings books (and for those who just refuse to grow up).
