Wilt Series
This series follows the misadventures of a rather unsuccessful teacher whose mundane existence is constantly disrupted by unexpected events. Facing disengaged students and a stifling personal life, he finds himself unwittingly embroiled in dramatic situations, including police investigations and murder accusations. Yet, with a blend of passive resilience, vivid imagination, and a uniquely dry wit, he navigates these chaotic circumstances. These are humorous tales filled with situational comedy, unexpected plot twists, and the distinctive charm of British satire.
