Book excerpt: With an ever increasing number of men and women taking up teaching as a career, it is fitting that Pook should reveal his own startling college experiences for the benefit of students about to join and for the delight of teachers whose college days are among their most vivid memories. The excellent work being done by our Colleges of Education is so well known both here and abroad that Pook decided to dwell chiefly on the lighter side of scholastic life, displaying the humour of lecturers, students and those unwitting guinea-pigs of our educational sorties—the school-children, who have to bear the brunt of the student’s endeavours in his new world of Teaching Practice. Against his customary accurate background of the profession, Pook stumbles through the whole range of college activities with characteristic enthusiasm, undaunted by the novel circumstance of being the only man among the six hundred girls who attend Dame May Boyle College of Education for Women. Understandably, he has to seek psychiatric treatment to face such a task, the results of which lead to one of the funniest books in the celebrated Pook series.

Book excerpt: Once again Pook comes up with another original formula for mirth and sheer reading pleasure which his fans enjoy so much. Schoolmaster Pook often illustrates his lessons by anecdotes from the War. His pupils like this too, but they like it even more when nostalgia so grips Pook that he seems to reminisce himself into the past before their very eyes. The boys and girls of Cudford Secondary School see Pook making love on the summit of the Great Pyramid of Egypt; being chased by German paratroops during the invasion of Crete; and finding himself blackmailed by a beautiful half-caste girl in Ceylon—not forgetting some remarkable experiences with Honners in Burma and on the Maldive Islands. Between these hilarious adventures, Pook takes a closer look at modern education, teachers and children, portraying aspects of school life of which the public is scarcely aware. Here is an opportunity to meet once more some of the memorable characters from former Pook Books, such as Commander Bray of the Navy, and Sergeant Canyon of the Royal Marines with whom Pook served during the War—and Dr Collins, his long-suffering Headmaster. Definitely a volume in the high tradition of humour Pook has established in recent years, and worthy to be added to the set which many readers are collecting, to savour many times over.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You’ll enjoy Pook and Honners in the Indian Navy, savouring the sweet life of the East. Honners breaks with naval tradition by opening a boarding-house in Bombay, providing a base for his ever-growing collection of war trophies. But that ruthless disciplinarian, Commander Bray, brings the war against Japan to their notice, and they experience the terrors of night convoy sailing. Here Pook becomes the first Navigating Officer ever to witness the sun rising in the west without another ship of the convoy in sight. Pook and Honners are selected to lead the landing party on the Ramsami beach-head, where they come under fire from the Japanese and their own Task Force. How they escape the Japanese by working in a Ramsami house of ill-fame is a hilarious climax to another extremely funny Pook book.

Book excerpt: In many of the Pook Books the part of the eternal woman behind Pook is played by the lovely Olga. Some readers asked to hear more about her, so Pook’s Tale of Woo is mainly devoted to her—and her eternal mother, Mrs. Brown. We see how the faithful and long-suffering Olga, engaged once more to Pook, is swept off her feet by the handsome, emotional Italian, Enrico, the dynamic lover who also becomes engaged to her in a tight threesome of who-woos-who. How Pook deals with this situation in Italy, becoming engaged to Enrico’s cousin in the process during a romantic Mediterranean cruise on a munitions ship, is a revelation in the wiles of women when they collect their male. Pook also tells of his early struggles as an actor, lecturer and writer for Sex International and the women’s magazines, and of his later struggles with his Producer’s wife in the film world. Peter Pook has written such an amusing book that even Olga’s mother smiled when she censored the script!
