‘Possibly the funniest work of English prose ever, and with some of the most dazzlingly funny cartoons. I sincerely consider it a work of genius’
KEVIN JACKSON

Wot wizard japes, tho! Here is Molesworth – cheers cheers – to show you how to avoid maths div. and geog., enjoy a Molesworth day dream and kno more about gurls hem-hem…

Nigel Molesworth, the ‘goriller of 3b’ and ‘curse of st custard’s’ is the superb chronicler of life at a 1950s British prep school. Loved by a generation who recognised themselves in the ink-blot world of St Custard’s, the Molesworth tetralogy, Down with Skool!, How to be Topp, Whizz for Atomms and Back in the Jug Agane, is gathered together in this compendium. Of course, Molesworth would not be complete without Ronald Searle’s witty and wicked cartoons, depicting gerunds, masters, space machines, school dogs and parents. Unforgettable, and yet a delight to return to, these books are modern classics to be cherished and enjoyed time after time.
