The Perfect Family

Victoria Mather

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.
