The Adrian Mole Trilogy

Boxed set of the first 3 books in the Adrian Mole series including:

The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13-3/4: Having sold more than 20 million copies worldwide, The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole has enjoyed the kind of success that its young narrator would love to see for himself. A thwarted would-be intellectual born into a working class family, young Adrian Mole has grand ambitions—but is bound to never achieve them. His love life is in shambles, he has few friends, the BBC won’t publish his poems, and he is concerned about his parents’ marriage—all this and more he records in his diary, producing a one-of-a-kind portrait of a unique individual in an all-too-familiar world of frustrations and disappointments.

The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole: “Adrian Mole is as engaging as ever” (Time Out) in this sequel to the bestselling Secret Diary, which sees a still angsty Adrian Mole at the tender age of 15. 

“Townsend’s wit is razor sharp” (The Mirror) as she engages (through the point of view of her teenage protagonist) with everything from political upheavals surrounding the Falklands to Adrian’s own struggles with passing his exams, the on-again, off-again romance with his childhood sweetheart, and developing a sudden allergy to non-precious metals.

Adrian Mole: The Wilderness Years: Sue Townsend’s “achingly funny anti-hero” (Daily Mail) is all grown up—at least somewhat. Now an angsty twentysomething instead of an angsty teenager, Adrian Mole still has problems aplenty, but he thinks maybe he’s making progress. He’s dating a Nigerian waitress named JoJo, who he will eventually marry, and he has even added vowels back into his first novel, a move that is guaranteed to make it more accessible to the masses in this “brilliant comic creation” (The Times) that chronicles Adrian Mole’s young adulthood.
