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

The Perfect Family Summary

The Perfect Family by 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.

The Perfect Family Reviews

'Their observations are made with the wit and humour necessary to survive the circles they move in.' -- Michael Parkinson '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 'Their well of inspiration shows no sign of drying up.' -- Daily Mail
