About this ebook

The PERFECT GIFT for the ones who are yet to know the meaning of the words 'hard work' . . . in other words the back-to-schoolers and the university goers.
__________________________________

This is a student.

He is leaving home for the first time.

By the time he graduates, he will be grown-up: exhausted, hideously in debt and unable to imagine going to bed sober.
__________________________________

Reynard has brought everything he needs for his first year.

He unpacks his fancy-dress costumes, his four-way extension leads, his pair of pants and all his didgeridoos.

By doing front, back, inside-out front, inside-out back, and using Febreze and Imodium, he plans to make his pants last until half term.

About the author

Jason Hazeley & Joel Morris are the award-winning authors of the bestselling Ladybird Books For Grown-Ups series.

They write for Charlie Brooker's BAFTA award-winning Wipe shows, and co-wrote Cunk on Shakespeare, Cunk on Christmas and Cunk on Britain. They have also written for the award-winning Murder in Successville, the award-winning Miranda, the award-winning Mitchell & Webb, the award-winning Armstrong & Miller and a long list of shows and people both award-winning and so-far-award-avoiding.

They created and wrote the critically lauded but as yet un-awarded Ångström for BBC Radio 4, and helped write both the award-winning Paddington movies. They are co-creators of spoof local newspaper The Framley Examiner (awards pending) and the bestselling but still-waiting-to-be-award-winning offbeat travel guides Bollocks to Alton Towers and Far from the Sodding Crowd.

They present the podcast Rule of Three (Guardian Guide Best 50 Podcasts 2018 - is that an award?) and divide their time between their office, where they keep their awards, and an award-winning pub.
