Summary

Jennings starts the second half of the Christmas term by accidentally setting his "india rubber" (erasure) on fire, it seems the residents of Linbury Court are going to have an exciting few weeks. Along with "High Fidelity Telephonic Communication" (or two tins and a piece of string), the 'Affair of the Assistant Masterpiece' and Jennings suddenly becoming a musical prodigy, Old Wilkie is definitely not going to get any peace and quiet. Mouldy chizz! Jennings as Usual is one of a series of books by Anthony Buckeridge which grew out of a popular series of radio plays for the BBC's Children's Hour. Published between 1950 and 1989, and known for Buckeridge's inventive schoolboy slang ("fossilised fish hooks!," "crystallised cheesecakes!," and others) these books were translated into several languages and were favorites among a vast assortment of kids all over the world. Sometimes described as "Harry Potter without magic, but funnier," and "P.G. Wodehouse for kids," you'll want to check out the other titles in this series available from Post Hypnotic Press
