Synopsis
Collected together for the first time, this slipcase contains all five Large Family stories - "Five Minutes Peace", "All in One Piece", "A Piece of Cake", "A Quiet Night in" and "Mr Large in Charge" - created by the bestselling author/illustrator, Jill Murphy. Family life has never been more charming than in these humorous stories, now accompanied by a 37-minute CD featuring unabridged storytellings with music, hilariously narrated by Miriam Margolyes.

Customer Reviews

Hilarious!
This is the best in the Large family series so far, and is absolutely hilarious.

Daddy looks after the children for the day, with hilarious results.

My wife was in stiches when she overheard me reading it to my little boy, and I got to the bit about lunch. Lunch is rather inevitably burnt by Mr Large whilst he watches football on TV for 'a bit'!

Very well observed, witty writing which amuses grown ups and entertains little ones.

Fantastic
I am buying this set for my daughters 21st birthday.
Both of my girls read them, and had them read to them until they literally fell to bits!
I feel really sorry for "mother of the bean" who is going to throw the books away.
They are fun for goodness sake!!
My daughters are now almost 21 and 23 they are both well adjusted and happy young women who look on the books with great affection hence the re purchase.
They were not affected by the "negative" messages in the book. They both work in traditionally male dominated industries and are doing well.
They don't have a poor relationship with food because they read A Piece Of Cake".
Buy these books they are brilliant
Children spend far too long worrying about "issues" today as do their parents it would appear! for that negative review

What a bargain!!
My son absolutely adores these. He's 2.5 and has had a Large Family story (as well as Winnie the Witch) each night for the past 6 months - i have bought him other books - honest, but these are the all-time fave!! The CD's great for those long car journeys. What's more - what a fab price.
