First published in 1954. This classic children’s book by Anthony Buckeridge is one of a series of novel’s revolving around Jennings and his friends who attend the fictional Linbury Court School. In this audiobook – the space-craze sweeps through the corridors reverberate with ‘voom-voom’ noises as rockets, piloted by “Butch Breakaway” (Jennings) and his “bald-headed scientist,” (Darbishire), take off for the moon. As Mr. Carter prophesies, the craze wears off, but not before Jennings has stuck his head into trouble; nor before he and Darbishire have helped General Merridew, that peppery but most distinguished of Old Boys, to recapture some of the wilder moments of his lost boyhood.
