The More the Merrier - Softcover
The Christmas holiday is traditionally a time for families to gather together. But more definitely does not mean merrier in Ralph’s household — not with Uncle Tristram hurling spuds at the cat, cousin Titania in her frilly dresses, nutty Great-Aunt Ida and others. Mum’s on the verge of a breakdown and Ralph’s been banished to his bedroom.

From the Inside Flap:
In this hilarious and wicked tale: "Christmas comes but once a year. Luckily."
Traditionally, families gather together for Christmas. In Ralph's case, this means ten or more relatives coming to stay, including nutty Great Aunt Ida (the Home tells them to be careful not to let her out) and other weird adults, 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, the TV not working and Mum on the verge of a nervous breakdown, it soon becomes obvious that, in this house, more, definitely does not mean merrier.
This savagely funny and mischievously wicked Christmas tale, illustrated with black and white drawings, is funny at any time of the year.
