Jennings Books

I loved the Jennings series by Anthony Buckeridge.  hilarious stories set in a boys'  prep school in Sussex, Jennings and his friends were always getting into complicated situations, usually caused by Jennings's impetuosity, and having great difficulty extricating themselves.  There were frequent hilarious misunderstandings.  The two teachers who featured most prominently in the stories were the calm, understanding Mr Carter, and the explosive Mr Wilkins, constanty exasperated and baffled by his charges.  When I was young, the books were available in paperback, and also in lovely cheap hardback editions with beautiful illustrations by Mays.
