The Lost Diaries of Adrian Mole, 1999-2001 Tuesday November 28th
I took off my clothes and examined myself carefully in the wardrobe mirror this morning. My front view is quite nice. My shoulders are slightly stooped, my pectorals are perhaps lacking definition, but I am still above average in the looks department. However, my profile leaves a lot to be desired and, yes, Mohammed, my old schoolfriend, you spoke the simple truth: in profile, I do look five months pregnant. My belly, once a discreet concave, is now distinctly convex. How did this happen without my noticing?

‘Adrian Mole has entered early middle age and is now ‘the same age as Jesus was when he died’ (33). His current worries include: indestructible head-lice; his raging jealousy when his accomplished half-brother Brett unexpectedly arrives on his door-step; moral decline in The Archers; his desperate attachment to two therapists; his mild addiction to Starburst (formerly Opal Fruits); a small earthquake in Leicester; and, perhaps most significantly, the dawn of a new millennium.’

‘Adrian Mole really is a brilliant comic creation’
The Times
‘Thank heavens for Sue Townsend … she has an unrivalled claim to be this country’s foremost practising comic novelist'
