Nigel Molesworth, the curse of st. custard’s, has been known to his huge army of fans through the four books Down with Skool!, How to be Topp, Whizz for Atomms and Back in the Jug Agane, which were first published between 1953 and 1958, all illustrated by Ronald Searle. What are fare less well-known are the Molesworth diaries that appeared in the magazine Punch between August 1939 and December 1942. Apart from a few of these pieces appearing in various compilation volumes, they have never been republished – until now. This is an opportunity to discover a slightly different Molesworth – less philosophical than the one portrayed in the books, but equally as sardonic, knowing and cynical. The diaries are not, perhaps, as consistently funny as the books, but they should be regarded as an introduction to the world and mind of Molesworth, and as such are essential reading for all Molesworth fans. Includes a Foreword by Gyles Brandreth and a lengthy Introduction by Robert J. Kirkpatrick.
