Chortlesome in places, less so in others. Dates views poke in here and there. Molesworth as a child had energy, wit and an unmapped future; the adult has had much of this closed off, into a pedestrian life in the Wimbledon suburbs - oh the tragedy.

Quite good fun and a nice addition to the Molesworth daga. Not a patch on the original Willans and Searle classics of course

This is a faithful tribute to and extension of the original Molesworth books. It’s informative about the eighties in the same way the Molesworth tetralogy was informative about the fifties. There are outdated attitudes to women and many delightful features of the original Moleworth books, such as the poor spelling and schoolboy slang. Nigel’s wife, boss and colleagues seem to have taken the place of the teachers at St. Custards. The illustrations are great and the book is a quick read because the text is broken up with pictures and tables. I like the sound of Molesworth 2’s lifestyle best. I’d love to hear from him or from the retired Nigel Molesworth of 2015.
