About this audiobook
First published in 1954. This classic children’s book by Anthony Buckeridge is one of a series of novel’s revolving around Jennings and his friends who attend the fictional Linbury Court School. In this audiobook – the space-craze sweeps through the corridors reverberate with ‘voom-voom’ noises as rockets, piloted by “Butch Breakaway” (Jennings) and his “bald-headed scientist,” (Darbishire), take off for the moon. As Mr. Carter prophesies, the craze wears off, but not before Jennings has stuck his head into trouble; nor before he and Darbishire have helped General Merridew, that peppery but most distinguished of Old Boys, to recapture some of the wilder moments of his lost boyhood.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Read this almost sixty years ago it still makes me smile and takes me back to those long gone carefree days thank you so mutch
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I always loved Jennings, to the point that I learned the term "plagiarism" in school, when - at the age of 11, I submitted an essay at school which contained aspects of the hilarious plot from this book. It turns out my English teacher loved Jennings too!The other great thing about this series, when I was reading it, was that the books ranged in price between 30p and 40p, at a time that it was hard to find a children;s book for less than a pound.Most people confuse Jennings with Just William, but in my opinion Jennings is better. It is a pity that more people did not discover this wonderful series.
