Illustrated by
Helen Stephens.
Mason's third book about the Quigleys (Will, Lucy, Mum, and Dad) finds a "Polite and Pleasant" Will and Lucy undermining the sale of their house with tales of blocked drains and noisy boilers. In another episode, the children encounter a bull while trying to enliven a boring Mother's Day walk. The Quigleys: just like real life, only much, much funnier. Loose black-and-white illustrations appear throughout.
