Sue Townsend

Adrian Mole, now 38 and almost officially middle-aged, is working in an antiquarian bookshop. Despite finding solace in a literary life Adrian is worried; about whether or not he can get a refund on his holiday to Cyprus; about his engagement to Marigold Flowers; and about his failure to find a celebrity speaker for his writing group's Christmas dinner. Book 6 of the series.

Adrian Mole is an adult. At least that's what it says on his passport. But living at home, working as a paper pusher for the DoE and pining for the love of his life, Pandora, has proved to him that adulthood isn't quite what he expected… Included here are two other less well-known diarists: Sue Townsend and Margaret Hilda Roberts, a rather ambitious grocer's daughter from Grantham. Book 3 of the series.
