The brand new edition of the hilarious eighth book in the brilliant Adrian Mole series, Sue Townsend's Adrian Mole: The Prostrate Years.

Sunday July 1st.

NO SMOKING DAY. A momentous day! Smoking in a public place or place of work is forbidden in England. Though if you a lunatic, a prisoner, an MP or a member of the Royal Family you are exempt.

Adrian Mole is thirty-nine and a quarter. He lives in the country in a semi-detached converted pigsty with his wife Daisy and their daughter. His parents live in the adjoining pigsty. But all is not well.

The bookshop in which Adrian works is threatened with closure. The spark has fizzled out of his marriage. His mother is threatening to write her autobiography (A Girl Called Sh*t). And Adrian's nightly trips to the lavatory have become alarmingly frequent . . .
