The residents of 58 Azalea Avenue are away for the summer. Step inside and view the Family Wall-lined from staircase to ceiling with framed Fantora Family Photographs. In this sequel to The Fabulous Fantoras, B 1: Family Files, a talented and rather superior cat named Ozymandias will reveal the truth behind this intriguing assortment of snapshots as he anticipates autumn and the family's return. Highlights of this loving account include Francesca's stormy revenge against a ballet-class bully, vegetarian vampire Auntie Varvara's momentous wedding, Marco's stint as the invisible (twelfth) man on the school cricket team, and mother Rosie's go at leading a course in "imaginative" cookery. "Put together in the same way that Rosie arranged the Family Wall: a picture here and a picture there," Ozzy's story forms a second warm and funny chronicle of a delightfully offbeat family.
