description: Crystallised cheesecakes! Why is Jennings standing in a puddle wearing only one shoe? Will Mr Jenkins get bitten by the Poisonous Spider and swell up like a barrage balloon? Is Jennings more likely to catch measles than a burglar? Do cats have two legs and a kitbag?It's just over 50 years since Anthony Buckeridge's Jennings at School took BBC Radio's 'Children's Hour' by storm with Jennings' hilarious antics. His adventures were transferred to over twenty books that sold in their millions in the '50s and '60s. Sadly, the majority of the 62 radio recordings are lost, but here, published for the first time, are the first seven of these plays for countless Jennings fans to enjoy, delightfully and lovingly illustrated by Val Biro. Join Jennings and Derbyshire as they wreak havoc and spread confusion at Linbury Court School.Contents:Jennings Learns the Ropes.Jennings and the Poisonous Spider.Jennings and the Friend of the Family.Jennings Sees the Light.Jennings and the Very Important Parent.Jennings and the Unwelcome Gift.Jennings Sounds the Alarm.
