Poppy is the epitome of cool,wondering as she varnishes her toenails,if she should have a little dolphin tattooed on her ankle.Besides being long,books are not quite so cool - what she really needs are her friend's notes.Downloading songs on to her iPod and reading Hello! instead of doing her A-level revision,Poppy fobs off her despairing parents by telling them that Google's ace for research on As You Like It.Whatever: she'll get an A. Social Stereotypes has itself just become a teenager,and in this new collection Victoria Mather and Sue Macartney-Snape return pin-sharp in their aim to immortalize the characters de nous jours.From Krystal and Craig practising the samba at the Palais de Glide and dreaming of being on telly,to the Compost Enthusiasts Constance and Caroline,by way of Mary-Lou who booked the caterers for her Hallowe'en party in July and Hedge Funder Giles - with a house within the congestion zone,a Euro-wife with collagen implants,a 4x4 for the Croatian nanny and a Riva - every aspect of contemporary life is covered.It's impossible to resist being drawn in by the sparkingly mischievious prose and hilariously accurate illustrations of these stereotypes from the Telegraph Magazine.You will join the ever-increasing number of fans already officially classed as the Totally Hooked.The brilliance of these caricatures culled from the 'Telegraph Magazine' is that each and every one rings true.

The idyll of the 'Perfect Family',which everyone else seems to have,is a nightmare for Nancy.Only vodka and brittle desperation have enabled her to orchestrate the Christmas photograph of her hopeful progeny: daughter Gemmawith luminous spots,monosyllabic Jake,who looks like a drugaddict,and little Flossie,prone to Violet Elizabeth-style tantrums. Then there's her monstrously cross husband,never happy if separated from his mobile,even for purposes of familial celebration.Even the dog is embarrassed. Victoria Mather and Sue Macartney-Snape return with another bitingly funny appraisal of modern Social Stereotypes.Among them are the Armchair Spectators,let downagain by the 'plucky little Brit' at Wimbledon; the Disorganised Woman,whose car keys have always escaped to a Safe Place; the elderly Luddites who've just learnt to'surf the keyboard'; and the Hands-On Father,who sees little Inigo's art appreciation and baby yoga classes as being essential to his well-being as a clean nappy.From the Atkins Dieter and the White Van Man,to the Hair Colourist and the Nosy Neighbour,no contemporary character has escaped the pages of this book.We'll not only recognizethose around us,we may even discover ourselves.The combination of Sue Macartney-Snape's frighteningly astute drawings and Victoria Mather's scintillating texts confirm them as the sharpest,funniest and most entertainingsocial observers of our time.
