The More the Merrier (MP3)

Synopsis

The Christmas holiday is, traditionally, a time when families gather together. In Ralph's case, this means ten or more relatives coming to stay, including assorted aunts and uncles, nutty Great Aunt Ida (the Home tell them to be careful not to let her out) and his ghastly cousins: Titania in her sick-making, frilly, fairy dresses and twins Sylvester and Sylvia (it took till Easter last year before the family dog got over them).

Jammed into one small house for three days of merriment and family fun, uncle Tristam hurling potatoes at the cat and Mum on the verge of a breakdown, it soon becomes obvious that, in this house, more definitely does not mean merrier...

A savagely funny and deliciously wicked tale from the 2001-3 Children's Laureate, multi-award winning author Anne Fine.

Christmas will never seem the same again!
