The book is written in a diary format explaining the life of a teenage boy (Adrian Mole) and his confusion about the world. Although Mole believes himself to be an intellectual he often gets the wrong end of the stick when it comes to what is going on around the world and in current affairs. He sees Margaret Thatcher as his almost nemesis throughout the book. The story lasts just over a year (1981- April 1982) and is the first in its successful series, so successful the series was made into a TV program in the 1980s on ITV. The show was altered slightly from the original book series but still featured a lot of the original content.
Overall the book has been described as "The funniest book of the year" by the Daily Mail and became a very accomplished publication. To design the cover for this book would be a fun and playful task that wouldn't have restrictions on colour choices and design as much as a more serious fiction publication would.
