Author Description

In 1983 Jamie Days' Nana bought him a tiny 'Grange Hill' Collins diary for Christmas. He 'diligently' kept entries for the year, documenting his Star Wars collection, the injustices he faced at the hands of teachers and parents and the fall-outs with friends. He also read the infamous 'Secret Diary of Adrian Mole' which influenced the secrets he would commit to paper with biros and felt-tip pens. By the time he stopped keeping a diary in 1987 he was almost 14. Over the three years a lot had changed and, although he was still living in a quiet village on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales, he was less Adrian and more Holden. Previously published as individual volumes the complete collection is now available as a spectacular special edition with exclusive never seen before content! "An absolute gem of a book.
