#He's back. Aged 30¼.

##Twenty-first century Mole.

Now in his thirties, Adrian's still worrying: Can he be a good father? Is Viagra cheating? Why won't the BBC produce 'The White Van', his serial killer comedy?

Will he find the fulfilment he seeks as a celebrity offal chef, single parent and celibate novelist? Is there a place for Adrian Mole in Blair's Brave New Britain?

'Thank goodness for his steadfast loyalty to Pandora . . . Three cheers for his chaotic, non-achieving, dysfunctional family . . . We need him' Evening Standard

'One of the great comic creations . . . I can't remember a more relentlessly funny book' Mirror

'Mole has entered his kingdom . . . superb jokes and an underlying political and social seriousness' Sunday Times
