Czech rights in Christian Jennings’ The Third Reich is Listening: Inside German code-breaking 1935-‘45. I absolutely devoured this series as a child. I must have been about 7 or 8 and was given these by my uncle, who had also loved them as a boy. I was completely obsessed with the idea of going to boarding school at that time, (I think it was all to do with midnight feasts), so pretty much read anything that took place in one. Jennings undertakes to keep a diary for the year: it records his attempts to start a Form 3 museum, to find the missing link, and to uncover a genuine Roman fake – which doesn't go down too well with the curator of the Dunhambury Museum or Old Wilkie.

Christian Jennings’ new Guardian Short The Deadly Air: Genetically modified mosquitoes and the fight against malaria launches today. I totally loved the adventures of John Christopher Timothy Jennings when I was young, and on a recent reread this book managed a rare feat - rather than my jaded adult sensibilities seeing flaws I hadn't originally noticed, I actually found it funnier than on first reading. Jennings is a British author and journalist, who'd already written a variety of other novels, including Beach Candy, Atlantic and Beauty Story. Although not as widely remembered by many as Richmal Crompton's revered William books I prefered these stories at the time and was often reduced to helpless laughter. Jennings, like William, tended to take things literally and to their logical conclusion. Calling out the fire brigade to make a fire drill more authentic turned out - as so often was the case - to be an inspired decision and not only kept him from the clutches of Old Wilkie but gave him a briefly enhanced reputation. These days he'd be referred to the Ed. Psych. as a probable Asperger's. Aku berani bertaruh sejuta, orang yang masih ada akal sehatnya takkan mau menulis cerita tentang anak-anak seperti kita!

Mr Hind – Music master, mild of manner (though occasionally acerbic), trailing clouds of smoke from his cherrywood pipe – also teaches art to Form 1. Villanelle (a codename, of course) is one of the world's most skilled assassins. A catlike psychopath whose love for the creature comforts of her luxurious lifestyle is second only to her love of the game, she specializes in murdering the world's richest and most powerful. But when she murders an influential Russian politician, she draws a relentless foe to her tail. Yang membuat Jennings itu unik adalah cara kerja otaknya yang misterius. Kalau orang biasa menyusun rencana untuk mengatasi suatu masalah, ia akan buat Rencana A, Rencana B, dst.--nah, si Jennings ini main lompat saja ke Rencana Z yang rasanya tidak akan terpikirkan oleh orang waras. Apalagi kalau sudah dikombinasikan dengan Darbishire yang juga hobi berimajinasi liar, selalu gemparlah sekolah dan orang-orang di sekitar mereka... Saya sering seperti Darbi: saat mulai menulis di surat/kertas/papan, huruf-huruf awalnya terlalu besar sehingga pesan keseluruhannya jadi tidak muat. Tapi, saya tidak sekonyol si Darbi yang main asal kirim saja surat yang isinya tidak lengkap. More recently, the first four books were published in an omnibus edition by Prion, The Best of Jennings: Four Utterly Wizard Adventures All Jolly Well Complete and Unabridged (2010). In 2011, six titles were produced as unabridged audio books

Osprey have bought World English rights in Christian Jennings’s The Third Reich is Listening: Inside German code-breaking 1935-‘45 , the inside story of Germany’s huge pre-war and wartime code-breaking operations. Dedication: "To David Davis, whose keen understanding of the youthful mind brings the characters of Linbury Court School to life so vividly on the air" Waller-Bridge adapted the first season for TV, then handed the baton on to Emerald Fennell. Meanwhile, season three of Killing Eve was written and adapted by Suzanne Heathcote - previously a story editor on Fear the Walking Dead. How different are the Villanelle books to the Killing Eve show?Mr. Frisby, aka 'The Frizzer', a teacher mild in manner who teaches French and English. Well liked and respected by the pupils, even if his banter is, in Milligan's words, "a bit Form One-ish, if you know what I mean". The Frizzer possesses an interesting, if rather unreliable, old-fashioned car, which features prominently in 'Rex Milligan's Busy Term'. Under the patronage of Miss Thorpe, Linbury is going green - collecting of rubbish, recycling, distribution of leaflets to raise awareness. The pupils at Linbury Court are desperate to help. But, as always with Jennings and Darbishire, good will is not synonymous with effectiveness and precious tropical fish are soon put in danger. Jennings plans to report on a mathematical comparison of TV aerials in rural (Linbury) and urban (Dunhambury) locations - but gets distracted with the care of Old Sleepy, the top secret hedgehog. After her mother died from cancer when Oxana was young, she became very close with her father, but he was killed by rival criminals. Vowing revenge, Oxana murders her father's killers – and that’s what ends her in prison. The stories of middle class English schoolboys were especially popular in Norway where several were filmed. The Norwegian books and films were rewritten completely for a Norwegian setting with Norwegian names and Jennings is called "Stompa". And in France Jennings was, rather oddly, known as Bennett!

Buku pertama dari seri si anak asrama Jennings. Sebenarnya saya sudah membaca & menikmati beberapa buku Jennings lainnya sebelum baca yang ini... pada dasarnya seri ini memang bisa dibaca dari yang mana saja (*sangat gampang memahami situasi dan hubungan antar tokohnya), tapi menyenangkan juga akhirnya bisa mengetahui awal hubungan Jennings dengan guru-guru, anak-anak asrama lain, dan sobat kentalnya Darbishire.

To a distraught parent whose child has gone missing, the unique genetic code embedded within every cell of the human body is of particular value. That code, spelled out in A’s, C’s, T’s, and G’s, may reveal that their loved one is among the anonymous dead. Hundreds of thousands of people disappear every year around the world because of natural disasters, wars, crimes, and treacherous journeys to other countries. They often leave behind family members, who now may turn to an international organization that specializes in decoding the identities of the deceased.” But before it was a buzzy BBC drama starring Doctor Foster’s Jodie Comer and Grey’s Anatomy’s Sandra Oh, Killing Eve was actually a book by author Luke Jennings. Dedication: "To Wilfred Babbage, who has earned the thanks and esteem of so many listeners to Children's Hour by his inimitable performance as Mr. Wilkins in 'Jennings at School'" In 1962 he met his second wife, Eileen Selby. They settled near Lewes where he continued to write and from where he also appeared in small (non-singing) roles at Glyndebourne.Jennings yang keasyikan lari-lari sambil latihan menendang bola di lorong, sampai akhirnya sukses nendang tempurung lututnya Pak Kepsek.
