Adrian Mole

by Sue Townsend

#He's back. Aged 30¼. ##Twenty-first century Mole. **Now in his thirties, Adrian's still worrying: Can he be a good father? Is Viagra cheating? Why won't the BBC produce 'The White Van', his serial killer comedy?** **Will he find the fulfilment he seeks as a celebrity offal chef, single parent and celibate novelist? Is there a place for Adrian Mole in Blair's Brave New Britain?** 'Thank goodness for his steadfast loyalty to Pandora . . . Three cheers for his chaotic, non-achieving, dysfunctional family . . . We need him' *Evening Standard* 'One of the great comic creations . . . I can't remember a more relentlessly funny book' *Mirror* 'Mole has entered his kingdom . . . superb jokes and an underlying political and social seriousness' *Sunday Times* 'Adrian Mole really is a brilliant comic creation . . . every sentence is witty and well thought out, and the whole has reverberations beyond itself' *The Times*
