In this enchanting and very funny little book Raymond Briggs, celebrated author of "The Snowman", tells entirely in cartoon format the story of his parents' marriage and his own childhood in their small London house. The personalities of his parents - his father's enthusiasm for new ideas contrasting with his mother's redoubtable common sense - shine through as they come to terms with progress and the changes in their lives from the pre-war years to the seventies.
