Anthony Buckeridge, creator of the funniest and best-written schoolboy books, bar none.--Joseph Connolly in Modern Children's First Editions
Born in 1912, Anthony Buckeridge was sent to boarding school in Sussex at the age of eight. He went on to university before working as a tutor in a preparatory school, and later became a fireman during the Second World War. Buckeridge was the first writer to use prep schools as a setting for his stories and, as such, is the creator of the infamous Jennings. The Jennings titles have sold over six million books worldwide."
