Peter Pook's success is based on two factors.First, he believes that people need laughter in their lives today as never before,if they are to cope with this
difficult world of ours.Second,he realizes
that the modern author must face up to the
competition of television by providing tangy reader-holding entertainment unobtainable elsewhere.Pook's travels all over the world provide the material, while
his keen observation of human nature enables him to pick the humour out of any situation.He delights in satirizing the pompous and big-wigs of office - but never maliciously,for he laughs at himself
more often than at others.Another hilarious yarn in the series, The Teacher's Hand-Pook voices a plea from many teachers who are worried by the sometimes unhelpful programmes, methods and theories imposed on them from above by
folks not directly in the firing line of modern education.Much of this concern is summed up by that outspoken representative
of the Old Guard,Mr Mould, in his Teacher's Prayer:'Preserve us this day from child psychiatrists, cranky College lecturers, Headmistresses on horseback, crackpot teachers, promotion charlies, do-gooders, education experts, potty parents,
comedy writers, and all other persons who do not understand children.Forgive our own Headmaster because he is comparatively
harmless.'
