Summary Based on PhD research, this case study examines how families from broadly working class backgrounds constructed and understood the fact that a child of theirs had been labelled 'gifted and talented' at school. This case study provides an account of the methodological considerations which arose in seeking to conduct in-depth topical life history interviews with a family group and in using narrative analysis to construct rich descriptive cases, which could yield theoretical generalisations
