«The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 3/4» is Sue Townsend's humorous novel, published by Penguin in a 30th-anniversary paperback edition (272 pages, in English).
Adrian Mole, a British teenager, records in his diary the day-to-day life of his early 1980s: his parents' relationship problems, his fear they will divorce, his desire to be recognised as a poet and intellectual, his first romantic interests, and his tensions with the school environment. The gap between how Adrian perceives himself and how the reader sees him generates much of the comedy. The volume includes a foreword by David Walliams.
It is the first title in Sue Townsend's Adrian Mole saga, published from 1982 onwards. This 30th-anniversary edition came out in 2012.
Recommended for those seeking English humour, diary-form novels, and coming-of-age stories from an adolescent perspective.
Susan Lillian Townsend was an English writer and humorist whose work encompasses novels, plays and works of journalism. She was best known for creating the character Adrian Mole.
