Family Tree

'He's horrible and slimy and creepy and revolting and makes me absolutely sick.'Families can be lovely or loathsome--and frequently both! In this anthology, Kaye Webb has brought together extracts from her favourite stories, plus an assortment of marvellous poems, all showing the amazing variety of families that exist in fiction.From the eccentric, madcap Bagthorpes to Gerald Durrell's childhood adventures in Corfu, and the experiences of one remarkable old lady in 'Super Gran', the reader will meet families and situations both familiar and strange, and realize just how universal are the rewards and frustrations of family life.
