AS SEEN IN THE TIMES
________

Friday January 2nd

I felt rotten today. It's my mother's fault for singing 'My Way' at two o'clock in the morning at the top of the stairs. Just my luck to have a mother like her. There is a chance my parents could be alcoholics. Next year I could be in a children's home.

Meet Adrian Mole, a hapless teenager providing an unabashed, pimples-and-all glimpse into adolescent life as he writes candidly about the dog, his parents' marital troubles and life as a tortured poet and 'misunderstood intellectual.'

Forty years after it first appeared, Sue Townsend's comic masterpiece continues to be rediscovered by new generations of readers.

'Reading The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole when I was 14 felt quite like an awakening' GREG DAVIES, Sunday Times

'Townsend has held a mirror up to the nation and made us happy to laugh at what we see' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
