“The trouble with trying to read passages from the Adrian Mole Diaries aloud is that you find yourself laughing so hard you can’t go on. It’s that kind of book.” —Kansas City Star
“As sad and devastating as it is laugh-out-loud funny. A delight!” —New York Times
The agonizingly funny, captivatingly poignant journals of England’s bespotted everyboy are now available again. An international phenomenon and perennial favorite since their initial publication made a splash in Thatcher’s Britain more than twenty years ago, The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole, Age 13 ¾ is now side-by-side with its hilarious sequel The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole in this collected single volume.

Adrian Mole faces the same agoniesthat life sets before most adolescents:trouble s with girls, school, parents,and an uncaring world.

From teenagedAdrian’s anguished adoration of a lovely,mercurial schoolmate to hisview of his parents’ constantly creaking relationship to hisheartfelt but hilarious attemptsat cathartic verse, here is anoutrageous triumph of deadpan—anddeadly accurate—satire. ABBA, PrincessDi’s wedding, street punks, Monty Python,the Falklands campaign . . . all the culturalpageantry of a keenly observed eramarches past the unique perspective ofSue Townsend’s brilliant comic creation:A . Mole, the unforgettable lad whoseself-absorption only gets funnier as hislife becomes more desperate.
