The Quigleys At Large by Simon Mason

The Quigleys At Large by Simon Mason

The Quigleys are back in this second collection of stories. Funny and instantly recognisable, the family go on a camping holiday to France. Mum stars in the skipping competition at the local village fete, Will gets locked in his empty school at night, and Dad (unsurprisingly) loses the budgie. This work features four more hilarious stories from this irrepressible and warmly affectionate family.

"An easy-to-read book which describes family life kindly and humourously, while also showing just why it can be so very annoyingMason's deft understatement gives each story enormous charm and warmth" -- Julia Eccleshare Guardian "Irresistable ... Reads like episodes in the life of a real family ... It will make children laugh and parents wince at the way they can Get It Wrong" -- Nicolette Jones The Sunday Times "Written in a breezy, approachable style which is great for reading aloud" TES "This family saga is always a delight; a cheering read in every way" Observer
