Jennings goes to school

It's getting toward the end of August and almost by magic my mind starts slipping back to what this time in the past meant for me as a schoolboy.

Part of it meant getting ones equipment and uniform ready to return to school with a  mad dash to the stores and this leads really on to this which I do so miss all of that and one of things I did was read books.

Anthony Buckeridge's creation Jennings and his side kick, Darbishire was the boys series I read  cover to cover in the dorm as I liked about the series was they did feature memorable characters in situations I could relate to although I did read some of Enid Blyton's girls centred school series too.

This was the first published story although Jennings was inflicted on the Britishers in nineteen forty-eight  on the BBC Children's Hour program, garnering a following.

In the first story we are introduced to the two new boys of Linbury Court School for boys, Jennings and Darbishire, their initial meeting with Mr. Carter just seeing a very average boy in his blazer and shorts  but it is not long before her realizes his well meant but impetuous nature coupled with an overdeveloped sense of initiative soon leads trouble despite his more erudite mild mannered companion  attempts at moderating him as they both start to learn the ropes  in their first term.

My copy is a nineteen sixty-two Collins hardback where I'm sure the one I had at school would of been  from the mid seventies edition.
