Description

Adrian's illegitimate half-brother Brett Mole, born on 5 August 1982, is reintroduced as a 19-year-old; he is an athletic, popular, confident, promiscuous, super-intelligent Oxford undergraduate, already a published poet and TV documentarian – in short, the person Adrian always wanted to be. Just the unlikely fact that Adrian’s only published work (actually ghost-written by his mother) is ‘Offally Good! Her hugely successful novels include eight Adrian Mole books, The Public Confessions of a Middle-Aged Woman (Aged 553/4), Number Ten, Ghost Children, The Queen and I, Queen Camilla and The Woman Who Went to Bed For a Year, all of which are highly acclaimed bestsellers. In near fine condition, the binding is straight and tight, the boards clean and the lettering on the spine bright.

His cooking at a top London restaurant has been equally mocked ('the sausage on my plate could have been a turd') and celebrated (will he be the nation's first celebrity offal chef? A dark grey cell indicates that the character was not in the film or that the character's presence in the film has yet to be announced. When Adrian Mole decided to start a diary at the ripe old age of thirteen and three-quarters, he had no idea how far his words would reach. A spokesman for Michael Joseph said: "We can confirm that Sue was in the middle of writing the book. Her hugely successful novels include eight Adrian Mole books, The Public Confessions of a Middle-Aged Woman (Aged 55¾) , Number Ten , Ghost Children , The Queen and I , Queen Camilla and The Woman Who Went to Bed For a Year , all of which are highly acclaimed bestsellers.He still believes that he is better than his peers intellectually and aspires to become a famous poet and make his fortune from his writing. Townsend also published a collection of Monthly columns in the “Sainsbury Magazine” titled “The Public Confessions of a Middle-Aged Woman” in 2001. Susan Lillian "Sue" Townsend was a British novelist, best known as the author of the Adrian Mole series of books. With the ever-unattainable Pandora pursuing her ambition to become Labour's first female PM; his over-achieving half-brother Brett sponging off him; and literary success elusive, Adrian tries to make ends meet and find a purpose. Mole is a fierce critic of prime minister Margaret Thatcher, listing her as one of his worst enemies.

Grace Pauline "Gracie" Mole, the daughter of his second wife Daisy (née Flowers), a smart, successful PR career woman who resembles Nigella Lawson. He is the type of boy who believes that everyone including the teachers, his parents, and Barry Kent the school bully will one day pay for not being nice to him. It is at this point that Adrian Mole lays down his pen, saying that “Happy people don’t keep a diary”, only to pick it up again in Adrian Mole: The Prostrate Years (the title taken from the fact that Adrian has problems with his prostate and, true to his nature, is chiefly annoyed by people pronouncing the word with an extraneous ‘r’) to record the fact that “it is two months and nineteen days since I made love to my wife, Daisy”.

The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 ¾ is the first book in Sue Townsend's brilliantly funny Adrian Mole series. The second theme is depiction of the social and political situation in Britain, with particular reference to left-wing politics in the 1980s in the first three books.
