Jennings & Darbishire

Although I am an adult reading these stories for the first time, I cannot help but laugh and laugh and laugh at the stories, to the point of needing tissues to wipe my face. I am not sure if boys from nowadays will feel the same as certain things are a bit out of date, there is no mobile or DS in sight, but it is sure funny!

A gift for myself to remind me of my childhood.....50 years ago.....when i first read these books. Book is great, service excellent.....but I shouldn't try and go back!! lol

The adventures of madcap Jennings and his long-suffering friend Darbishire were written almost 80 years ago but still are as fresh and exhilarating a read today. They are ideal for readers aged 9 + but don't let their classification as "children's literature" turn your nose up at them; like the William books they are ageless and classless. With catchphrases and nicknames which will become part of your vocabulary and a host of beautifully drawn, irrepressible characters who become your firm friends, these books are treasures. No family should be without them!

Great

English in it is a bit too old fashioned for the recipient.
