“Happy Families is an anthology of family situations, with the emphasis on humour, yet with the emphasis, too, on the ever-present strengths of family life.  There are large families and small, old and new, familiar and unfamiliar (The Darlings, the Marches, the Fairchilds, to name just a few of the familiar ones) and riotous exploits in plenty to entertain the modern family.  Barbara Willard’s anthology Hullabaloo! Was a huge success and her new collection is equally attractive with its entertaining selection of family escapades, wittily illustrated by Krystyna Turska.”
