Packs a lot into his little hut

I always enjoyed reading the Jennings books growing so it was a delightful surprise to discover an abridged version in audio of the third book in the series and one of the best I think, capturing Anthony Buckeridge's masterpiece of comic misunderstandings, corkscrew schoolboy logic and memorable characters, masters and pupils at Linbury Prep School. The plot revolves around a group of huts built by the boys on school land, an errat goldfish and the misguided attempts to impress an illustrious ex-scholar. Needless to say events rarely go according to plan but much hilarity ensues too. A fun reminder of earlier times.
