In Billy Bunter of Greyfriars School, Bunter is up to his usual pranks; falling asleep in class, stealing jam and cakes from other boys' lockers, chalking rude things on the blackboard, getting six of the best from Mr. Quelch, failing to turn up for cricket, scuffling with the local vagrant and even being threatened with expulsion. Thoroughly enjoyable listening for all children aged six to ninety plus!First published in 1908, Bunter's staggering popularity has lasted for more than a century now.The reader Martin Jarvis is a multi-award-winning television and voice actor.
Billy Bunter is expecting a postal order from his uncle. At last he receives a letter from his uncle which he assumes contains the long-awaited postal order. However, before he gets a chance to open the letter, it is confiscated by his form master, Quelch. This triggers a whole sequence of hilarious events which almost leads to Bunter's expulsion from Greyfriars School. Martin Jarvis is in his element not only as a rip-roaringly funny Bunter, but also portraying the many other characters involved in the shenanigans giving each one their own individual personality.
