Further Adventures of the Family from One End Street

Further Adventures of the Family from One End Street

"Further Adventures of the Family from One End Street" is the sequel to "The Family from One End Street", a British children's book. Eve Garnett originally wrote this book shortly after the previous instalment had been published in 1937, and it is clearly claimed at one point to be set in 1938, but the manuscript was badly damaged in a fire in 1941. Eventually most of the book could be deciphered, and the part which was completely unreadable had, luckily, already been published in "Junior Bookshelf" magazine.

In 1950 some of the deciphered chapters were published in "Collins Magazine", but the work of deciphering the manuscript then had to be abandoned for some time. Finally, however, the complete manuscript was deciphered and published as a book by Heinemann in 1956. It appeared in Puffin Books in 1963.

In the book Kate, Peg and Jo Ruggles go on holiday to the Dew Drop Inn, located in the (probably Sussex) village of Upper Cassington, while they are on convalescence from measles. Eve Garnett subsequently wrote another book in the series, "Holiday at the Dew Drop Inn", which detailed Kate's return visit to Upper Cassington during the following summer, keeping the late 1930s (presumably 1939) setting.
