The Jennings series is a collection of novels written by Anthony Buckeridge (1912–2004) as children’s literature which concern the humorous escapades of J.C.T. Jennings, a schoolboy at Linbury Court preparatory school in England. There are 24 novels in the series, excluding reprints and other material. The first of the series, Jennings Goes to School, appeared in 1950, and new titles were published regularly until the mid-1970s (including Jennings at Large, published in 1977, the only novel to feature Jennings during the school holidays). The two final volumes were published in the 1990s: Jennings Again in 1991, and That’s Jennings in 1994.

The first ten novels in the series were reprinted in the UK in paperback, by Armada Books, in the late 1960s; and many of the novels were translated from the original English into foreign languages. Quite often, the character’s name was not retained: when published in France, Jennings’ name was changed to “Bennett”; in Norway he was known as “Stompa”; and in Brazil, when published during the 1970s, the character’s name became “Johnny”.

Anthony Malcolm Buckeridge OBE (20 June 1912 – 28 June 2004) was an English author, best known for his Jennings and Rex Milligan series of children’s books. He also wrote the 1953 children’s book A Funny Thing Happened which was serialised more than once on Children’s Hour. He was awarded the OBE in 2003.
