Whizz for Atomms 
A guide to survival in the 20th century for felow pupils, their doting maters, pompous paters and any other who are interested

With one mad yell the mob, armed with stumps and bits torn from desks, surge away down the pasage, trampling the masters under foot. A buket of water fall on GRIMES and the term end in a series of wizard rags and japes. Cars arrive, driven by parents with drawn, white faces.
Nigel Molesworth is dragging St. Custard»s into the 20th century in the company of »felow pupils, their doting maters, pompous paters and any others who are interested», via the Elizabethans and the Wild West. Most importantly, he has some important lessons in how to treat Girls, what to do with a tee-vee, what a holiday will really involve, and how to survive the uranium age that is sure to hit any time now. CAVE!
