Items related to The Perfect Family
You'll know them all: the armchair spectators supporting the plucky little Brit at Wimbledon; the Atkins dieter, with her mantra of 'Can I eat this?'; the white van man who cannot see the KEEP CLEAR sign because he has parked on top of it; the toddler whose favourite playthings are wall sockets and cats' tails. And of course the perfect family, whose children are all stars and so positive, even in a cyclone on holiday in Mauritius.
Skewering affectation and exposing human folly, Victoria Mather and Sue Macartney-Snape are back with a hilarious set of Social Stereotypes in which we'll recognize everyone around us, including ourselves.

With consummate skill, the authors have once again skewered our national smugness. The unwary would be well advised not to leave the room before Victoria or Sue. (Nicky Haslam)
Victoria Mather and Sue Macartney-Snape are not so much observers, more collectors, pinning their victims like butterflies in a display cabinet. Their observations are made with the wit and humour necessary to survive the circles they move in. (Michael Parkinson)
Their well of inspiration shows no sign of drying up. (Daily Mail)

A new collection of the perfectly observed, unfailingly funny pen-and-word sketches that send up modern manners and maddening mannerisms.
