A recent newspaper article mentioned "The Family From One End Street"
(Eve Garnett) as a children's classic. A
childhood favourite of mine, the "Family Day Out" to the Heavy Horse Parade
in Regent's Park remains to this day, one of the most vivid accounts of a
chaotic family outing I've ever read. I
hot footed upstairs to root through our children's books, soon having the
distinctive salmon pink paperback in hand, ready to read on my imminent train
journey. And how I enjoyed it! Beautifully told, the adventures of the large,
loving Ruggles family have lost nothing over the years!
