Why read it?
1 author picked The Lost Diaries Of Nigel Molesworth as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is pre-St. Custards. It was written during the war and follows Molesworth and his brother at several very minor private schools. The sardonic and philosophical curse of St. Custards had a profound impact on my childhood psyche. I was so happy to see something new from the 'goriller of 3B'.
Nicely illustrated by Uli Meyer of Roger Rabbit fame. This is the antithesis to the hearty kind of boarding-school stories that were and still are prevalent, including those overrated Potter books, as any fule kno.
