Writing candidly about his parents' marital troubles, the dog, his life as a tortured poet and 'misunderstood intellectual', Adrian's painfully honest diary is still hilarious and compelling reading thirty years after it first appeared.

Looking back at The Secret Diary Of Adrian Mole Aged 13 3/4 Looking back at The Secret Diary Of Adrian Mole Aged 13 3/4

Townsend left school at the age of fourteen and worked in a variety of jobs including packer for Birds Eye, a petrol station attendant and a receptionist. When it is proven that Rosie is Lucas's child, George becomes withdrawn, hurt by Rosie's swift rejection of him and making him question if Adrian was his child. They are described as having faces that look like they visit funerals every day of their lives, so much to the point that Adrian and George cannot believe that his mother is related to them.Wormington (née Broadway) is an elderly widow whom Adrian befriends when he is visiting his father in hospital after he falls off a ladder while re-vamping Tania Braithwaite's back garden into a Japanese theme.

Adrian Mole - Book Series In Order

Grace Pauline "Gracie" Mole is the daughter of Adrian and Daisy Mole, and Adrian's third child and only daughter. His loyal friend and co-worker Bernard Hopkins comes to the rescue, moving in with him and promising to remain until his cancer is in remission. Worse, as he slides down the employment ladder, from deskbound civil servant in Oxford to part-time washer-upper in Soho, he finds that critical reception for his epic novel, Lo! Her parents conclude that she and Adrian can have sexual intercourse every Tuesday and Thursday on Marigold's fairytale carriage bed which, according to Adrian, is "mind-boggling".

Set contemporaneously, as all the diaries are, it fills in two of the gap years between Adrian Mole: The Cappuccino Years and Adrian Mole and the Weapons of Mass Destruction.
