    Jennings Goes to School
    • When Jennings arrives at Linbury Court Preparatory School as a new boy, he soon discovers how much he has to learn, especially when the other boys seem to be talking in a different language! Spivish ozard! But it is not long before Jennings becomes a celebrity, following an intrepid escape from the school grounds and a riotous attempt to enliven a fire practice, which leaves Old Wilkie literally climbing the walls! From then on, every time Jennings gives trouble the elbow, a new disaster trips him over. But only one thing really matters to J C T Jennings – his First Eleven debut. When the long-awaited match arrives, Jennings certainly uses his head.

      Our Friend Jennings
    • Volume publié en 1964 dans la collection ##Idéal-bibliothèque## et en 1972 dans la collection ##Bibliothèque verte## chez le même éditeur. Il s'agit sans conteste d'un des meilleurs romans de la série Bennett. L'auteur y fait montre non seulement de beaucoup de vivacité et d'humour mais d'une grande connaissance de la psychologie des jeunes. Pour les 10-13 ans

      Bennett et sa cabane
    • Fredy steckt immer voller Einfälle. Seltsam, daß sie ihn immer wieder in völlig unerwartete abenteuerliche Verwicklungen und heitere Schwierigkeiten stürzen. So auch diesmal. Eigentlich möchte er doch nur angeln — aber was dabei herauskommt, wird ein Leckerbissen für zahllose alte und viele neue Fredy-Freunde.
