I absolutely love the Jennings books and this one is no exception. I love the way Jennings is unable to connect cause and effect when he tries to stay on top of accidents mishaps and disasters . The scene where he falls into the ditch is an example of this . Later on he is in trouble in relation to an invasion of old ladies in response to an invitation for old stuff and bargain related goods .But this in itself results in the school gaining a new cook after weeks of eating canned food . And the issue of the lost property cupboard.Jennings Of Course!(1964) is hilarious and with many examples of how fate when it goes wrong can turn into situations that save the day . Anthony Buckeridge has gifted us with another Jennings book.
