Sue Townsend

There is only one Just William. The loveable imp has been harassing his unfortunate family and delighting hundreds of thousands of readers for years. Here, the Outlaws plan a day of non-stop adventure. The only problem is, William is meant to be babysitting. But William won't let that stop him having fun with his gang - he'll just bring the baby along!

A revolutionary British government orders the Queen to abdicate and the Royal family to vacate Buckingham Palace. Being rehoused on a council estate in the Midlands comes as a bit of a shock to Philip and Elizabeth. The intrusion of this family of "poshos" is a shock for their new neighbours too.

In den achtziger Jahren veröffentlichte Sue Townsend Das Intimleben des adrian Mole - das komische Tagebuch der 13 3/4jährigen Adrian und wie er die welt sah; es machte Sue Townsend über Nacht zur Bestseller-Autorin Nr. 1 in England. Seither ziert ihr Adrian Mole die internationalen Bestsellerlisten, wann immer er auftaucht.

Adrian Mole has entered early middle age and is now 'the same age as Jesus was when he died' (33).Father to the grammatically challenged Glenn, and William, who takes a 'Big Boy Arouser' condom to nursery school as his innocent contribution to a hot air balloon project, Adrian is a single parent who has an on/off relationship with his housing officer, Pamela Pigg. Will she help him to move from the notorious Gaitskell estate before William joins the Mad Frankie Fraser fan club?In the meantime, Adrian continues to be scandalised by his irresponsible parents who are conducting a matrimonial square-dance with the Braithwaites – the parents of the beautiful but unobtainable Pandora, who is ruthlessly pursuing her ambition to be New Labour's first woman P.M. – and to confide in his diary.His current worries include: indestructible head-lice; his raging jealousy when his accomplished half-brother Brett arrives on his doorstep; moral decline in The Archers; his desperate attachment to two therapists; his mild addiction to Starburst (formerly Opal Fruits); a small earthquake in Leicester; and, perhaps most significantly, the dawn of a new millennium.

Ses jumeaux viennent de partir à l'université accompagnés de leur père, Eva commence à ranger la maison. Quelqu'un a fait une tache de soupe à la tomate Heinz sur l'accoudoir de son fauteuil aux motifs inspirés du Bassin aux nymphéas avec saules de Claude Monet, en laissant une cuillère vagabonder, au lieu de la mettre dans l'évier. Trop, c'est trop. Eva attrape la soupière et verse le contenu sur son précieux fauteuil (qu'elle a mis deux ans à restaurer) puis file se lover dans ses draps douillets. Elle restera un an dans son lit pour faire le point sur sa vie et réaliser le rêve secret de toutes les femmes.--[Memento].

He's back. Mole, now an angst-ridden 38, is still coping with life in middle-England as a single parent to Glen and William, and battling his own particular weapon of mass destruction.Marigold and I quarrelled last night as to which of us has the most monstrous mother and only stopped when Marigold screamed, "You couldn't find my clitoris if you were led there by Sir Ranulph Fiennes."After she'd slammed out I consulted 'The Joy of Sex' and discovered that I'd probably been playing too much attention to relevantly unimportant bits of her genitalia whilst ignoring the clitoris, yet it had been staring me inthe face for the last eighteen months.Glenn rang at 2 am from somewhere in Iraq to say that his standard issue army boots had melted in the desert heat and could I get Parcel Force to rush him some size ten Timberlands.

If I turn out to be mentally deranged in adult life, it will be all my mother's fault.'Adrian Mole continues to struggle valiantly against the slings and arrows of growing up and his own family's attempts to scar him for life in this second volume of his secret diary.

a very funny story about 6 women, each with a different anxiety. Because they organise a fancy-fair, they are due to leave their safe homes. Little by little they become conscious of the reason of their anxieties.

The latest diaries of this set-upon yet ambitious closet genius are hilariously hedonistic and marvelously moving. They are filled with the kind of soulful, scathing and sly musings all of us indulge in but would never divulge. The most disarming pangs and prevarications are laid bare for our amusement. Adrian Mole - misunderstood, maligned, and muddled - is a nerdy hoot. And oddly captivating.

Adrian Mole is back. He's older, no wiser and possibly even funnier than before ... When we last heard from Adrian, he had fallen in love with Daisy Flowers and they had embarked on a new life with their baby, Gracie. Fast-forward four years and Adrian's life is in turmoil again.

Nu haar hoogbegaafde tienertweeling uit huis is, besluit een bijna 50-jarige vrouw een jaar in bed te blijven, wat de relaties met haar omgeving op scherp zet.

From book jacket: Adrian Mole is a worrier. The problems of existence hit him hard. Spots, bits of him that won't seem to keep still, the cracks in his parents' marriage, all prey heavily on his mind. There are some consolations. A 14 year old feminist, an 89 year old chain smoker and his spoilt best friend all help to lift the gloomy introspection of Mole's moods. Mole believes he is an intellectual. He is certainly a poet. He buys strikingly coloured stationery on which to write his poems and send them to the B.B.C. He is dogged by ill health as well as by an infuriatingly ever-present pet dog, and by a catalogue of misfortunes familiar to anyone over the age of 13. ... Sue Townsend's original creation .. [is] a hilarious delight.

A collection of Townsend's monthly columns for Sainsbury's Magazine. Not only are they amusing pieces of comic writing, they provide an insight into the mind of the woman who created the character Adrian Mole, whose "Diaries" have now sold over 6 millioncopies worldwide.
