The Jennings Books by Anthony Buckeridge,

A well flowing read,
By
This review is from: Jennings' Diary (Jennings) (Paperback)
I barely remember any of this Jennings book from when I was younger, which made it a good read today. The tale of Jennings' diary ties together four major events this term from the missing cufflink to the form three museum.
My copy was, disappointingly, the 1980s 'updated' text, which puts the coinage into metric and makes another part of the story seem less likely. However I don't imagine much else has changed, and perhaps with a goal of modern children reading for themselves it is not too bad a change to make. I found this to be the best flowing of the Jennings books I've reread so far as an adult. The overall concept of the diary is used very well to tie what would otherwise be separate strands together. This is one of the things that makes me love Jennings far more than Just William books, which are mostly just a stream of disconnected short stories. I think it would be fair to say this is one of the best novels in the set, although if I couldn't remember it, maybe there is better to come.

Wonderful Books I Loved as a Child,
By
This review is from: Jennings' Diary (Jennings books / Anthony Buckeridge) (Board book)
I recently re-bought this book as I had it as a child and loved it. The stories are dated now, being set in a 1950s prep school, but they remain hilarious. This series should really be much better known.
In this book, Jennings keeps a diary, whilst all kinds of hilarious things happen around him. The author shows his understanding of boys in showing how none of the diary entries really bring out the drama of the school term! Indeed many entries are impenetrable without some knowledge of the events described. Thoroughly recommended.
