The Ladybird Book of the People Next Door

THE PERFECT GIFT for anyone moving house or worried what them next door will get up to next . . . Logan is reporting his next-door neighbour to the police again. This time, it's for using a hair-dryer before 8am. Last time, it was for trespass by blossom. 'You again,' says the duty sergeant, and gets the forms. 'Rachel and Robert's neighbour Mrs Vavasour has complained to the council about their hedge, their cat and the colour of their front door. The morning after Rachel left her hair straighteners plugged in, Mrs Vavasour complains to the council that she was kept awake by a bright, flickering orange light and the sound of exploding wood.' This delightful book is the latest in the series of Ladybird books which have been specially planned to help grown-ups with the world about them. The large clear script, the careful choice of words, the frequent repetition and the thoughtful matching of text with pictures all enable grown-ups to think they have taught themselves to cope. Featuring original Ladybird artwork alongside brilliantly funny, brand new text.
