Tales of The Family from One End Street by Eve Garnett

There’s never a dull moment in the lively Ruggles family. The seven children are experts at finding fun, adventure and mischief! The book’s universal appeal still delights children 70 years after it was written and it is now also a fascinating insight into the values, traditions and culture of a former time.

Eve Garnett’s classic book won the Carnegie when it was published and has recently been judged to be one of the 10 most important children’s books of the last 70 years.
