For Children of Most Ages
'Jennings at School'
(Sixth series) by Anthony Buckeridge
2 - 'Darbishire takes the Plunge '
Production by David Davis
Last month, you may remember, Jennings and Darbishire, being caught up in Road Safety Week, were confined to terra firma, but today's play is mainly concerned with surroundings of a more watery nature-the school swimming-pool, in fact - and Jennings discovers that whereas a friend's aquatic abilities are usually an advantage, they can also be somewhat disconcerting. Anthony Buckeridge writes on page 39
