The Lost Diaries of Adrian Mole, 1999-2001

These diaries were lost when I moved from my modest council estate home back to my parents equally modest home in Ashby de la ZouchConfiscated for seven years by HM police - in the mistaken belief that they might incriminate the author - these diaries tell of Adrian Moles lost years on the cusp of the second millennium.The same age as Jesus when he died, Adrian has become a martyr: a single father bringing up two young boys alone in an uncaring world.- With the ever unattainable Pandora pursuing her ambition to become Labours first female PM; his over-achieving half brother, Brett, sponging off him; and literary success as elusive as ever, Adrian tries to make ends meet.But little does he realize that his own modest life if about to come to the attention of those charged with policing The War Against Terror . . . One of the great comic creations of our time.- Almost every page of his diaries brings a smile to the face ScotsmanTold with Townsends trademark deadpan humour and cringe-worthy mishaps.- To people of a certain age, Adrain Mole was their Harry Potter News of the World
