Publisher Description
School is 'wet and weedy', according to Nigel Molesworth, the 'goriller of 3B', 'curse of St Custard's' and superb chronicler of fifties English life. Nothing escapes his disaffected eye and he has little time for such things as botany walks and cissy poetry with an assortment of swots, snekes and oiks. Instead he is very good at missing lessons, charming masters and putting down little brothers, in fact he is exceptional at most things except spelling. Wildly funny and full of sharp observations on life, the ‘Molesworth tetralogy’ is magnificently complemented by the illustrations of Ronald Searle

Genius
I first read this book when I was about ten in 1975 and have to say it's lost none of its magic or charm over the years. My own 12 year-old is reading it too and although some of the terminology has changed he still enjoys it. A little gem. The illustrations by Ronald Searle are simply perfect too and compliment the text impeccably.
