There is so much material here that it's hard to filter. I made a blogpost from The Memory a couple of years ago [self link]: De Flesch - A children's picture book! Father wins the lottery, drinks it away, gets into debt, pawns stuff, spends everything, beats up the wife, gets arrested, goes insane - leaving the family homeless. A jolly good bedtime read.
