I first discovered the Jennings Books, or rather it discovered me, when I went up to collect my prize for English when I was 10yrs, and noticed just 3 books left on the Prize Table. I decided to claim the fattest book, which turned out to be Jennings Diary. Having read it whilst at home, loved it so much that I joined the local Library and eventually over the years read all of Anthony Buckeridge's Books ( 23 in total if i'm not mistaken ) I have over the years purchased all of the Jennings Books, and still read them occassionally when I am immediately transported back to my School Days. It's terrific reading and Anthony Buckeridge created a loverble rogue along with his friend Darbishire..(correctly spelt)..who got into all sorts of mischief, but usually came out being praised by his frustrated School Master Mr Wilkins ( Old Wilkie ). I am 66yrs now, having read on and off Jennings books since my School days. Now my Son ( 39yrs ) reads them, and so will my Grandson when he grows older. I was saddened when Anthony Buckeridge died in 2004. His books are still read by his followers not only in the UK but all over the world.
