"The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole, Aged 13¾" is the first book in the Adrian Mole series of comedic fiction, written by Sue Townsend. It focuses on the worries and regrets of a teenager who believes himself to be an intellectual. The book is written in a diary style and set in 1981 and 1982.It chronicles the supposed intellectual awakening of Adrian Albert Mole, and his wonderings, worries and woes. In the background, it refers to some of the historic world events of the time.
Apart from the sometimes hilarious events described in the diary, a lot of the typical humour originates from the reader immediately seeing through particular observations, while the boy pertinently and naively misinterprets them.
The book was first published in Hardcover by Methuen on October 7, 1982. Sequels include (in chronological order)
"The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole"
"The True Confessions of Adrian Albert Mole"
"Adrian Mole and the Small Amphibians" (all of which were contained in "")
