Description:

Adrian Mole is officially an adult — at least according to his passport. In reality, he is still living at home, clinging to his ratty cuddly rabbit Pinky, slogging through a thankless paper-pushing job, pining for the unobtainable Pandora, and convinced he is destined to be a great misunderstood poet. The third instalment in Sue Townsend's beloved Adrian Mole series takes a delightfully unusual shape, weaving snippets of Adrian's later teenage diaries together with extracts from two other unlikely diarists: Sue Townsend herself, gleefully sending up the literary world, and a young Grantham grocer's daughter named Margaret Hilda Roberts. Expect Russian holidays, dreadful poetry, royal weddings, awkward first romances, and a generous helping of 1980s British social satire. Short, sharply observed, and very funny — a quirky companion piece for fans of Adrian's earlier diaries.
