The Lost Diaries of Nigel Molesworth

Nigel Molesworth, the curse of St. Custards school, is known to his huge army of fans through Geoffrey Willans four books 'Down with Skool', 'How to be Topp', 'Whizz for Atomms' and 'Back in the Jug Agane', first published between 1953 and 1958, and illustrated by Ronald Searle. Much less famous are the Molesworth diaries that appeared in the magazine Punch between August 1939 and December 1942. This volume is an opportunity to discover a slightly different Molesworth less philosophical than the boy portrayed in the books, but equally as sardonic, knowing and cynical. The diaries are an introduction to the world and mind of Molesworth.
