I'd love to hear from anyone else who loves the molesworth books (a mad spoof of 1940s boarding school etiquette).

They were narrated by nigel molesworth and described his school (St Custards), his dere little brother molesworth 2, his grate friend peason and other weeds and wets eg fotherington tomas (hello birds, hello sky) and grabber (winner of the mrs joyful prize for rafia work).

Will our dere little chaps (and girls) ever be ready for these books? I seem to remember reading them in my teens, is that the right age?

If no one else loves these books, I will utterly tough them up and diskard them.

My only critcism is that they totally ruined the Jennings books for me. I thought these were hilarious as a pre-teen but once i discovered molesworth, it was all over.
