Yes, the Bagthorpes are still in print, and still being written. Along with Keith Robertson's classic Henry Reed books, they still crack me up, too.

Let's not any of us forget the Bagthorpes. Written by Helen Cresswell a decade or so ago, that series still stands out in my mind as the first time I laughed so hard I couldn't see while reading a children's book. I'm not even sure they are still in print. This discussion makes me want to read them all over again. And, have we mentioned the Blossom family by Betsy Byars? Crack me up.
