Adrian Mole’s diaries in one volume

This collected edition pairs The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole, Aged 13 3/4 with its sequel, The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole. The publisher presents the books as journals by an English adolescent, placing the series in the familiar territory of growing up and everyday teenage experience. The two-part format lets the reader follow Adrian across both volumes, while the setting in Thatcher-era Britain gives the collection a specific historical backdrop. The source describes the books as combining comedy with poignant moments, making adolescence—not a single standalone plot—the organizing thread of this edition.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in coming-of-age fiction.
  • Readers who enjoy journal-format stories about adolescent life.
  • Readers looking for a two-book Adrian Mole collection.

Book overview

"The trouble with trying to read passages from the Adrian Mole Diaries aloud is that you find yourself laughing so hard you can't go on. It's that kind of book." --Kansas City Star

"As sad and devastating as it is laugh-out-loud funny. A delight!" --New York Times

The agonizingly funny, captivatingly poignant journals of England's bespotted everyboy are now available again. An international phenomenon and perennial favorite since their initial publication made a splash in Thatcher's Britain more than twenty years ago, The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole, Age 13 3/4 is now side-by-side with its hilarious sequel The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole in this collected single volume.
